On Sept. 7 (anniversary of Battle of Milne Bay), we are running a Battle of Milne Bay event for This Day in WWII.
We will run it at 8 pm Tokyo time (9 pm Melbourne time) to accomodate Japanese and Australian players.
We would love to have Japanese players play in it.
There are some excellent Japanese players and squads in Aces High these days. We would be honored if you would try this special event. It is a very fun setup, with a balanced plane set, and fun objectives.
