4YA

One Life Campaigns

The concept is easy: all players get only one life and aircraft for a 2 hour long event. The results and attrition rates of each event determine the next mission. Coordination and team play is crucial to achieve success and win the campaign together. Experience the thrill of a whole new event where survival, completion of objectives, and air to air kills are equally important to determine success.
