googly moogly, Ardy... Bit bitter are we?

Nah.It was hilarious. I'd go one better, though, and propose, in honor of the OP, that we change the name of the game to Aces HO and remodel all the airplanes so that they can barely turn, are armed with anywhere between 18-40 20mils or some similar number of 30's, bofors 40's, Pak 75s, 155mm long toms, 128 mm guns borrowed from the JagdPzVI, or maybe 18" naval guns. Then we can joust, joust, joust all day long. The guys who HO's best will be named HODADDY and will acquire all honors and privileges that go with that title. The hit sprites will be revised to look like the onomatopoaeic bursts that accompanied fist impacts in the original Batman series and the ch200 rules will be loosened to allow the use of any and all compound words.
What could possibly be wrong with any of that?
