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.
If we go into this squadron business and the squadron wish to take one of the sides always, how can we reserve one side for the squadron? Can you put players into one side if we give you the usernames? Yes, this is one of the possibilities: squadron players would be automatically subscribed to those games.
I didn't realise there was technology out there to do the job.
I had some wild ideas of how it could be done - if you were really feeling the urge to manually run a big tournament.
I'd assumed that if you wanted to run a tournament between the squadrons (and any other players), then players would get allocated a side (presumably in squadron groups), then everyone would have to be subscribed to an early war game - flying a plane on their side (I thought it might have to be done 'manually' by someone setting them up as challenge matches - presumably whoever ran the tournament).
I figured any surviving pilots from the various games would go on to the next 'month' of the war, and that more than 2 dishonourable exits in a row would have you 'shot as a traitor' - so you didn't get to survive to the next 'month'.
Also to stop people being knocked out - I figured a new influx of pilots - one for each player, each new 'month' so by the end of the war - however many months later, a player who had no planes shot out from under them, and didn't get shot for dishonourable behaviour, would end up with maybe 50 'still living' pilots under their control.
But I figured surviving pilots from previous months would get first pick to fly the better planes 
Or maybe the new influx of pilots each month would be in several grand battle royal games - with 20 or so planes, but the surviving pilots would get dropped into numerous smaller games closer in size to their existing numbers (divided by the average number of living pilots under one player?).
and then total kills by all a player's pilots (living and dead) at the end of the war would be some measure of a player's score.
And total kills on each side would define who won and who lost.
something crazy like that anyway
