With a sad heart but happy memories that I'm retiring from the AvA (aka Combat Theatre) as an administrator effective January 1, 2014. Bastogne December 1944 will be my last setup for the week of December 20-26th. I'm going to remain in the advisory council for the AvA for the next while.
It has been a pleasure donating over 10 years of my time to make the AvA a great place to fly and it will still continue to do so with the crew we have now!
Fork, thank you - from all of us. The AvA has a significant effect on this game, whether people fly there or not, even whether they enjoy their time there or not. We've been able to see rolling plane sets, extended campaigns, no-enemy-icons settings, variable weather and, of course, the routine ability to see just how the real-life opponents stack up against each other. The experiences gained from those opportunities allow the AH community see how theories translate into reality.
You put in a huge amount of work to make this happen. I know: I saw it, and so did plenty of others. We would send you a brown paper bag full of gratitude if the postal services penetrated to the forbidden depths of Canada. Hey, it's waiting for you down here if you ever come into this jurisdiction!
