This for real? Was browsing through some old d2d games I have and this popped up.

[Lusche]

Yes. Since last month AH is also available as a boxed game here in Germany.

Did you notice the media was Lepape's vid

I bought it as a souvenir.

It has an A3 size poster of the cover and seeing as it was me and kaz in the tiffies it brings back memories   

[Melvin]

I hope they sell a million copies.

Of course they'll have to do something about the language barrier on 200.

1996 it were 2 dollars/hour + another 2 dollard/hour for net.... 
At that time many of us just let creditcard go...

I think no one needs to worry about that...

Plenty of people here know other lanuages. I know spanish, a fair bit of italian, some German, and even a little Polish.

How so?

Congratulations. I only know blackanese.

I hope this gets the word out over there letting them know the game can be played online.

And that's me in the P-39 trailing the flaming Zeke at the top!

How so?

It's sitting virtually unnoticed here. No reviews, not even user reviews on amazon.de (current sales rank in pc games 21,370!)  or the standard consumer websites. No blogs, no bbs discussions. It'a budget game in a market with a  much smaller target group (or however that is being called) than for example in the US (not only absolutely, but also relatively).

That sucks. Is there a serious MMO WWII competitor over there, or is it a lack of marketing?

Or are the Euros doomed to repeat the history that they are forgetting?
