What is the deal with squadrons? Is it something to do with a tournament?
Pardon the ignorance, but I've been on inactive duty for quite a while....
Hi Halberstadt,
I remember you from the "old days". At the moment, squadrons are just loosely formed teams. They are not officially supported by YouPlay, but have been used to facilitate a number of tournaments, round-robin leagues, a campaign, and numerous "challenge games" between squadron. I'm sure you can find more info by searching old messages in this forum. The heyday of the squadron phenomenon was 2 - 4 years ago when Lord Locquax organized several squadron functions and set up a web page for the various squadrons. There has been a lot of talk lately of reviving squadron play, which I found quite enjoyable, but that is still in the formative stages.
Anyway, welcome back to the virtual skies! And if you're interested in hooking up with a squadron, the Hex Angels (with which I am affiliated) would be more than happy to add a veteran with your considerable abilities to our ranks.
