In addition to our regular operations in one of the arenas,
the LCA participates in several regularly scheduled 'events'. These
include: 'Tuesday Training Night', 'Wednesday Snapshots', 'Thursday
Squad Night', 'Friday Squad Operations (FSO)' and 'Missions of the
Month [MoM]'. The only event that we expect LCA members to attend
as diligently as possible is our weekly squad night.
Tuesday Training
Night (TTN) Tuesday Training Night is a
scheduled event that is designed to improve our individual and group
fighting skills. These sessions may take place in one of the main
arenas or in the Dueling Arena. Training Tuesdays are generally
scheduled by the LCA Operational Commander when he feels a need
for specialized training, or to prepare for an upcoming special
event. They are not run every week.
Rook Mission-of-the-Month
[MoM] Missions-of-the-Month were created
and introduced by the LCA on October 21, 2008. They have since been
adopted by the BISHOP forces as well. The Knights have yet to adopt
the idea but then again, they are the Knights so we're
not holding our breath!
Missions-of-the-Month are organized in advance and are held on 'Titanic
Tuesday' when the arena can admit all squads and all players. Missions
are posted in the Mission Editor and all players present in the
arena are invited to join. There is no registration or squad membership
requirement. Missions typically begin 7:30-8:30PM eastern and last
about an hour.
Thursday 'Squad
Night' Squad Night is our chance to
clash with the enemy together as a unified group. It is also where
we put into practice the skills learned in past Tuesday training
sessions. 'Squad Night' is where the LCA operates as the
LCA. Consequently, LCA members are expected to make a good faith
effort to attend squad night and participate in squad-organized
missions and operations. After all, that's why you joined the LCA,
isn't it?
Friday Squad
Operations (FSO) Friday Squad Operations events
are Squad based single life events setup around historical conflicts
from 1938 to 1945 and in all theatres of operations: Western front,
Eastern front, Mediterranean, North Africa, and the Pacific.
Squads are organized into two sides of the conflict, (Allied vs
Axis) and compete against each other in a 3 week tour to execute
their assigned orders and bring victory to their side.
To fly in Squad Operations you must be in a squad that has registered
to participate in the event. You may fly as a guest in a squad but
only for one tour. After that you are expected to join with a squad
or bring in your own. FSO Events are usually 3 frames (or nights)
in duration over the course of 3 consecutive Fridays. The fourth
Friday is a day off to prepare for the next FSO Scenario. FSO events
are held in the Special Events Arena at 11 PM Eastern.
