drew pilots from all over the world. The assistance and camaraderie that you get from something like this or Olham's DiD campaign if you are new to WOFF will help increase your enjoyment of the sim and make you a better pilot as well.
For this challenge, you will be filling the role of a Bristol Fighter pilot flying for #22 Squadron, a thorny little Gordian knot for any German pilot to try to cut!
In order to participate in this challenge you must: 1. Declare your interest and intent in this thread on or before Saturday, September 20, 2014. 2. Create a pilot using the manual squad creation option flying for Britain in #22 Squadron with a start date of July 4, 1918 with the rank of Seargent. 3. Commit to flying 3-6 missions per week with this pilot, but no more than one per campaign day. 4. Report at least every weekend in this topic thread with his current successes or failures. 5. Faithfully communicate to your brethren the falling of your avatar when such event actually transpires.
Please enter your pilot at this link: Survey Link Please update this survey after every few missions, or at least once a week!
This is kind of a "Who's Line Is It Anyway" sort of affair where we try to have fun and the points don't really matter. We will declare a winner and there will probably be some kind of a prize but the main thing is just to have fun with good people. (If anybody wants to sponsor a prize, please pm me!)
Reporting can be by any of the following methods: -Text is good -Pictures are better -Videos are what this sim is made for!
There were some great reports and pictures and vids in the previous challenges, so look over them if you want some ideas!
This is single elimination, so one death and you are out. Keep in mind that even if you are not playing "dead is dead" in the workshop, at the end of each mission it will still tell you that "Sadly, your pilot has died" if his injuries were fatal so you don't need to switch your settings for this. If you land behind enemy lines with less than DID workshop settings, use these guidelines: in or on the edge of No Mans Land, you escape. Within 5 miles of the front, 50-50 (flip a coin). More than 5 miles behind the lines, you are captured, war over!
When you set up your pilot, click on "Manual Squad Deployment" in the lower right hand corner of the enlistment page. Set up the following screen so it looks like this:
Scoring:
Missions: +2 point each Time survived: +2 points each week Confirmed kill: +3 points each Becoming an ace: +5 points (only once) Promotion: +5 points each promotion Medals: +3 points each Survive to end of Challenge: +10 points
This challenge will have a have a hard end date of Sunday, October 12. That gives us three weeks and a day. You can have a maximum of 19 missions total. Then we can tally the points and declare a winner. You are certainly free to continue to fly your pilot after that if still alive, but for point determination, we need a cut-off date.
Permissions: You may use whatever aids you are used to using. The official setting for rear guns will be “Less Acc”. Please set your weather to “Historical Weather.” Flight model should be realistic and you should have weapons jams and limited ammo and all that jazz... The point is to have fun and we had outstanding support and sportsmanship from all fliers last time and we would love to see some new faces! Feel free to lead your flights if you want!
As far as time advancement, please follow these guidelines:
Allow time to advance as normal except fly no more than one mission per campaign day (time advance manually as necessary)
For every month of campaign time, you can advance two days on the calendar. (48hr pass to visit mum) For every promotion, advance five campaign days. For every five kills, advance 3 campaign days. For becoming an ace, advance 3 campaign days (cumulative with 5 kills above)
Keep in mind this is a challenge, not a competition! Your first job is to stay alive! (Note to self: Stay Alive!, skip mission 10) I'd love to see most of these pilots go on to great careers after our challenge is over! Good Luck RR
Official challenge start time is Saturday, grab some QC time in those Brisfits and we’ll be (W)OFF!
I will update this area with pilots and scores as the challenge progresses, so you can always check here for the latest info…

The older I get, the more I realize I don't need to be Han, Luke or Leia. I'm just happy to be rebel scum...
Well Rick, I will be in as well, but may not complete because I will be tied up for a week during the Challenge and won't be able to fly. I have never tried the Brisfit so it will be fun at least and I never want it to be said I missed one of your Challenges.

Being from south MS. I am up for anything concerning BBQ! Many thanks Rick. I will be away for a week and and a half during the campaign but if my history stays true it will not matter.
Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from either end. BOC Member since....I can't remember!
