15 years of S3s 1998-2013
   

The Squad Select Series is a player organized event in WarBirds that simulates the large-scale battles fought between opposing Air Forces during The Second World War. Fast and furious since 1998 the S3s are one of the internets oldest and longest running multi-player events with detailed planning and intense periods of combat. Everything is based upon the squad, flying realistically and playing with honor. Players have thousands of hours of online combat and are some of the most experienced and deadly virtual pilots out there. Awards and cumulative scoring allow each player to track their career and squad exploits over the years.

For those wanting more than a silly furball at a thousand feet join the S3s and fly a combat mission in WW2. All squads are welcome and lone wolves can post on our forum to find a squad to fly with. New pilots register on our forum and post your name here and many squads will approach you and help you get the most out of your online experience.

For our 15th season, the S3s are back with six events highlighting some of the new aircraft and terrains making it into the game this year.

2012-2013 Season Posted on Schedule page.

S3#81 – Rommel's Great Retreat; Western Desert - Fall 1942

Rommel's Army is defeated, long lines of lorries and tanks head in long clouds of dust eastward. The Axis airforces try to keep the relentless attacks of the WDAF at bay. Outside Tobruk a holding action is put together by the Axis ground forces to give engineers enough time to destroy the important port and allow the soft assets of the army to make their escape. But the Allies smell victory and send their bombers and fighters to find and destroy every last bulwark of defense and supply in Italian Libya.

This series will feature tactical bombing, escort and fighter interception against a limited set of targets outlined on a mission list. The side that shoots down the most aircraft and has the most successful missions will win.

Series begins June 16 at 8:30PM Eastern/5:30PM Pacific in the S3 Arena using the Tobruk terrain.
