I'd be interested in joining in if you guys need some players.

Just let me know ahead of time so I can plan around.

Bobby, Champion mode is such a great game if played by pilots who stick to the rules!
Maybe the developers will take note of Champion mode & send you a fat paycheck!!

I will look out for you online my friend, I am addicted to BOP!

The only thing I would like to add is that the game is terminated on the conclusion of the first round and a new match set up. We found that new players seem to loose track of the game if a new round was started in the same session. Also, tactics can only be discussed if you are in game chat and this is not possible if multiple rounds are held in one session as everyone needs to be in 'Party chat' so that the start and end of each round is communicated. Other than that it has been a great alternative to the normal modes.

With Popes sessions forced to be held at High altitude (by setting the weather to 'Blind') has given us more variety and helps to keep the title thriving - well done to all who think of these alternatives!

Great whilst dog-fighting Angelo, but a pain in the harris whilst taking the airfield!

The taking of an airfield is shown on the screen and on the map, so I wouldn't think that it really needs to be communicated. The advantage of a team taking the airfield quickly is that they will have the tactical advantage to form up and applying whatever tactics have been decided.

However.... the taking of the airfield should come later IMO to make the scoring extremely simple. Players attempts to land often result in crashes or a bailout once landed becuase they have used a lot of the ammo to brake. looking at the scoreboard before combat starts you see players with several deaths and some with non. If everyone went into combat with 0 deaths you can see exacty how the game is panning out, who has been killed and who is still alive.

Players that respawn following a death are then required to capture their airfield and, only once it has been captured, can a damaged player return to it or attack enemys that are viloating its airspace. This gives the same objective but later in the session. Just an idea......
