Are there any plans to host a Euro AH convention any time in the future?  It just seems that with so many players over there it might be a nice idea.

There will probably be an AH convention here in the UK if someone gets around to organising one!  :D  We have had some sort of get-together (initially for AW) since 1997, building up the numbers over the years, with the biggest Convention being in 2000, with around 40 attending.

Last year, there were less numbers due to the uncertainty of the future of AW and we called the convention EVACC - European Virtual Air Combat Convention (http://www.evacc2001.com/) to cover all games!  As it turned out, most of us were playing Aces High anyway, with the Head-to-Head competition being held in AH.  

Hopefully there will soon be news of this year's Convention, and I will post here as soon as I hear anything.  :)

I used to have a house off of colfax, I have made the drive several times. Plan about 15 hr trip. You can do it in 13 but you will have two people and next to no stops.  Its a fun drive. just long at points.

I'll just head out 70 to 135, then down to Dallas.  I've driven that route before (from podunk, Washington to Austin).  Did that one without slowing down, also.  There's nothing in Kansas, Oklahoma, or most of Texas worth seeing  :D

Raubvogel,

Everyone is responsible for their own hotel room reservations and cost. The con fee does not include the hotel accommodations. Embassy Suites does require a credit card guarantee.


I hope that helps.

Of course if you don't mind sleeping two to a bed, you can get alot more in.

I'll be there this year, and it looks like the MOL will have good representation too ! :)



 Imagine how bad I felt waking up to see the owner of the bed I was sleeping in sleeping between 2 chairs pulled together to make about a 4' bed.  DUDE! you should have kicked me onto the floor!!!!!

 About that bottle,  I seem to remember last year having a bottle that NOBODY would share with me.  Made me drink freakin 3/4 of it alone.  This year the penalty shots start Wed night!

 

 Dnil,


 I think Ripsnort and myself are rooming.  You need to come though dude been too long since we've hung out.  You will find a room, even if it's a diferent one each night ;)   Make it happen man!

 Yes after some pretty damn fine persistent badgering on my part, you did partake of the quervo.  I think I managed to force some into Supe too :)  that's why I said I drank 3/4 :) and why I didn't die that night!

 I tella ya what,  just so you don't think I'm a right wing closed minded nazi,  between now and the con, I will go get some patron to sample.  If it treats me well I'll bring it instead of Quervo Gold Especial.  :D

How LIMITED are we talking about ? Not sure how BIG the AH CONS Run ?

At the 2000 AW CON we had 100+ PC's setup and 170 Pilots and 210 for the Banquet dinner.

How many pilots are you expecting to handle ?

What kind of Internet connect will you have ?

Thanks,
