My understanding is the campaign would not be a league event, but like what we had last year. I took the squadron support would be to mean stat's would be maintained for participating squadrons. I'd prefer that squadrons be free to play whatever sized scenarios they like. I don't think larger squadrons have any problems with fielding smaller flights to face off vs smaller ones.

Personally, I'd prefer to see a limit of 1x2 as the smallest allowed game for campaign purposes, as last year, I saw a lot of 1x1s posted where experienced pilots feasted on less experienced ones. However, I realize different folks have different tastes... so, hey, to each their own

Even with squadron support, it will be like last year - no need to limit game size.

(Hopefully) it will work as follows:
  • Campaign software will automatically create all games (it will be create a certain number of games everyday)
  • Size of the game and which planes are involved will be determined by how the war is going, according to many variables like:
  • who is controlling that sector, Allied or Germans (there will be a global war map!)
  • which planes are historically available (like last year)
  • which planes have already been shot down (you may run out of those new shiny triplanes if they all got shot down - you'll have to wait until more are produced)
  • how many people / squadrons are active in that sector

    Once the game size / planes have been determined, one (or more) squadron may be selected to fill the game.
    As it's not necessarily a balanced 1 squadron vs 1 squadron, it is not necessary for the squadron to be of any size.
    You can even have a 2-people squadron: if the game contains only 2 planes of a side, that squadron will fly alone against the enemy, otherwise another squadron or non-squadron people might join them.

    Also, squadrons can be divided into smaller flights as flying the whole squadron all the time would mean very large games for some squadrons.
