I was here
This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.—Dwight Eisenhower, April 16, 1953

I started my AH career in tour 14... not quite beta...  :cool:

I played around in Beta, also played around in WB, but lost my way into EQ, and returned to AH after 10 years away.  Unfortunately, I've forgotten more folks than I remember, but that's the same outside of the game too.  I can't remember people from high school or college.

I really think that Aces High has endured since 1999 says a lot about how correct HTC's business model is to survive in this niche industry of WW2 simming.

even the Russians with their big industry backers look at HTC with jealousy and say even publicly... "they have been succeeding for over a decade while our products for this WW2 simulation has success measured in months or a year and if the company that owns us is not satisfied with the profit they pull the plug and the project dies."


good point!

I remember a good few of those on Nath's list but I didn't start playing till 2003, which makes me a perpetual noob   :rock

speaking of old timers, who remembers Taki?
