Next Event - General Information
We are running a Pacific Convoy event this Friday/Weekend and are desperately looking for any Coastal or Naval enjoyers who would be interested. This event will be fairly simple an IJN team will form a convoy centered around multiple Arras vessels and attempt to transit through a small island chain. Devil boats will attempt to harass and prevent this convoy from completing their mission.
When Will it Be?
Friday the 5th of April, 8 PM GMT (20:00 GMT 24hr)
Match Info
Map: Vella Lavella - Map Created by libarate
Mode: Realistic
Time of Day: Dawn
Weather: Partly Cloudy
Ordnance reloads: On (Won’t work for naval)
Max Respawns: 3*
Estimated Mission Length: 40-45min
*Japs ONLY get Aircraft as Respawns, either any early Zero Variant or can request a different Aircraft if it was present in the Soloman Islands between 41-43.
How Will it Run?
Convoy team will be given a short amount of time to form up and once ready will begin passage through the island chain with a westerly heading. Once given the green light the Devil boats can start searching for their prey either in one large group or smaller formations, when the two sides meet all hell will break loose. IF the PTs sink All convoy vessels (excluding escorts) they win, IF the Japs manage to transit from one side of the archipelago to the other they win. Multiple rounds may be possible.

Pacific Convoy Event - Aftermath + Squadron Information
–Event Aftermath–
Considering the lackluster player turn up in end, the Pacific Convoy event went pretty well. Overall the IJN team achieved victory despite the convoy loosing their only escort, they managed to navigate through the island chain, survived all three PT boat attacks and the final desperate Airstrike. We could have done with more players like usual epically for the US team but it was fun nonetheless.
Some Screenshots

Artic Convoy - Event
Next Event - General Information
Keeping up that momentum and moving on to the next event already, this time we will be trying a Bluewater event with a bot convoy which will need to be escorted. This event is inspired by the Artic Convoys of WW2 in particular QP 11 and PQ 15. A Royal Navy/US Navy force will attempt to defend the convoy from three main German attack waves. Firstly a large surface fleet centred around the pocket Battleship Admiral Graf Spee, Admiral Hipper and Prinz Eugen with a number of escorting destroyers. Afterwards a daring attack by S-boats and a final attack from the Air by various bombers. If the Allied Convoy survives all attacks the UK/US team wins if all convoy vessels are sunk the Germans achieve victory.
When Will it Be?
This Friday, 11th of April, 8 PM GMT (20:00 GMT 24hr)
Match Info
Map: Norway - Mission Created by Libarate
Mode: Realistic
Time of Day: Morning
Weather: Cloudy
Ordnance reloads: On (Won’t work for naval)
Max Respawns: 3
Estimated Mission: 45-55 Minutes
How Will it Run?
Both teams will require a few minutes to set up the Allied team will need to form a close and far escort for the convoy, while the Axis will need to form up and exit the Fjord they spawn in. Battle will commence once the German fleet makes it into the open ocean, the Far Escort will attempt to destroy or cripple the German fleet while the close escort covers the convoy with a large smoke screen. Once all Axis fleet units retreat or have been sunk the next attack wave will begin.

Yapping over… for now
Artic Convoy - Event
Next Event - Update
Just a quick update on the next event, really need to get some more vessels for both teams but the New Orleans are the highest priority. Also there are a number of scout aircraft listed at the bottom of the list which no-one has signed up for as of yet, without scouts both sides will be completely unaware of the others movements. The event itself is in a few days, if you haven’t signed up already there is still time, if you have I’ll see you there!

–Event Aftermath–
The latest -R1P- event was quite a blast, we had a pretty decent (for naval) turnout of 11 Players and were only missing one other who had signed up. For once an allied team was victorious and was able to prevent the success of all axis surface/air attacks on the convoy. We are always looking for more players interested in these type of events, our Discord link can be found in any of the other posts in this thread.

ANZAC - Event
Next Event - General Information
This Friday/Saturday -R1P- will be running some ANZAC inspired mini-events. I have created some missions with the Australian and Kiwi vehicles found in game, instead of one large Event we will be trialing some smaller missions and for the first time including Tanks. All Mini-Events will have a Maximum time limit of 20-25 minutes and each mission will start on the hour every hour from 25th April, 7 PM GMT to 25th April, 9 PM GMT. I don’t expect everyone to be able to participate in all missions, the idea is to sign up for the one (or ones) that works best for you. I will be using these Mini-Events to test a few a things like including bots, tank battles, etc for some future Event ideas.

ANZAC - Event
Next Event - Quick Update
Just thought I’d make a quick update on the current state of our event sign-ups. The Naval mission is looking pretty good at the moment with only one Destroyer Slot left, on the other hand the Ground missions have very few players so far. This isn’t entirely unexpected as this will be the first time we will be running a Ground based event and we are primarily a Naval Squadron/Server. Will see wait for the turn up on the day of the event itself but, we may treat the Ground missions a bit more casually and use them more so as a test for future ideas.

Naval Gunfire Support - Test Event
Next Event - General Information
For our first Event of May we will be trying something a little ambitious… This next Event will be trialing proper combined battles with most vehicle types. An Axis Armored force will set up defences in and around a Tunisian town, the Desert Rats will attempt to breach these defences with support of Naval Bombardment. Both teams also have a limited amount of Air support, the Axis Team are allowed to attempt ONE attack on the Battleship with Italian Bluewater vessels (Mostly Destroyers) though smaller consecutive attacks can be done with MAS 555/561/569 Boats (S-boats may be added if necessary). The Allied forces need to gain control of the town to win, if the Axis team still has control by the match time limit they win.
When Will it Be?
9th May, 7:30 PM GMT (19:30 GMT 24hr)
Match Info:
Map: Tunisia
Mode: Realistic
Time of Day: Morning
Weather: Clear
Ordnance reloads: OFF
Max Respawns: Unlimited (Except for HMS Rodney and Italian Bluewater)
Mission Time Limit: 45-55 Minutes
How Will it Run?
I would prefer if most players start off in Tanks but this won’t be enforced. Each team will get a few minutes to set up, the battle will commence once the Axis defences are ready. Aircraft and Naval Units are allowed from the 2nd spawn onwards, it is highly suggested that the Axis Team organises at least one coordinated strike against the Battleship with Stukas and Naval units. If the Battleship is damaged to the extent that only 50% crew remain it will retreat and play on further part in the battle. The team with control of the town by the 45 Minutes time limit wins.

Intense Destroyer Battles of WW2 - Event
Next Event - General Information
For the upcoming Event we are going to try running a few smaller missions over the weekend, all of the following are based off intense Destroyer Battles of WW2. I will be creating specific custom missions for each battle which should greatly improve the event experience. In regards to the 100 Fletchers Event, it might be possible to run it as a PVE Match but I’m going to allow any Japan players to join the IJN side if they desire to. I’ll make some more specific battle plans for each mission later but for the most part it will be fairly simple and intentionally built into the mission where possible.

Carrier Air Defence - Test Event
Next Event - General Information
For the next Event I have created a PVE test mission where a Task Force of American vessels will have to defend against waves of incoming IJN aircraft (Basically a Naval Assault Game Mode). At the core of this US Navy force will be the Carriers Saratoga and Enterprise, Aircraft will almost exclusively target these ships, thus our main objective is to protect them at all costs. In order to achieve this we will have access to Battlecruisers, Cruisers, Destroyers and a Close Air Patrol of F6F aircraft. Unfortunately due to the nature of the event ships will only be single spawn but aircraft will have unlimited spawns. If the Carriers don’t survive all attack waves we lose so you must protect them!
When Will it Be?
June 7th, 12 PM GMT (12:00 GMT 24hr)
Match Info
Map: Philippine Sea - Mission Created by Adarvik
Mode: Realistic
Time of Day: Morning
Weather: Partly Cloudy
Ordnance reloads: OFF
Max Respawns: None for Ships, Unlimited for Aircraft.
Estimated Mission Length: 30 Minutes
How Will it Run?
There will be a brief period of 2 minutes before the attack waves start so that we can sort out our formation and CAP, afterwards attack waves will spawn every 2 minutes until the final 5th Wave. For the most part we just need to stick to the carriers and unload HE-VT at the enemy. If the Carriers survive the final wave We win!
