To all of aces high community

[Ack-Ack]

It is starting to remind me of the community we had at the end of Airwarrior; small, but close knit.

It would be a lot better if the number of bases didn't outnumber the players during prime time though. *nudge* Hitech *nudge*

The AW community is still around and kicking.  The BigWeek newsgroup I believe is still up, as well as a facebook page.  When AW shut down, the community was actually quite large, with close to 38,000 subscribers when it was shut down.

The BigWeek newsgroup I believe is still up

It is.

Some people should pay more attention to it.

Just sayin' (t/m Pasha).

Can you post a plea from me?  Ask if folks remember these:

Longbow (March, 1999)
...
Saga of the 5th Air Force, Part 1 (August, 1995)
Kursk 3 (May, 1995)
Sicily, '43 (August, 1994)
Imphal Plain (March, 1994)
Battle of Germany (January, 1994)
Indian Ocean (July, 1992) <--- the world's first scenario, invented by DoK, which started my love of the genre

Even today, 24 years later, I am carrying on the tradition, folks!

But . . .

We need players!  Come back for a scenario and give it a try!

Who can forget Longbow?  That (18-frame!) scenario was EPIC!  I wasn't able to make all of them as some were played during the week at US primetime, but did do the majority on Saturdays and Sundays.  I didn't have the confidence to fly myself as I had only been playing about 9 months by then - but I loved gunning and went as a dedicated gunner for my Krait Squadron CO, Spiff.

The end of the last frame of Longbow was my first experience of being totally absorbed to the extent I felt I was really there!  We had been badly shot up during the frame and Spiff was gently nursing the smoking B17 back to Britain while I kept a look out for any further attackers.  As we crossed the North Sea, we were met by some patrolling Spitfires (pilots who died could have another life in a Spitfire to patrol the sea and escort returning bombers).  They flew around our B17 all the way back and I suddenly became extremely emotional as I looked out at them, tears welling in my eyes and a lump in my throat as I thought about how it must have been in real life. 

Spiff made it back to land safely and a scenario I will never forget finally ended.
