Title: Dear HTC...
Post by: Treize69 on January 07, 2010, 10:04:36 AM
I have a week off starting this upcoming Sunday night, and really, REALLY want to have some wood-and-canvas furballs during that time. Lots and LOTS of wood-and-canvas furballs.

Please to be giving belated x-mas presents??

right, and in that flick, one can't help but notice that he never quite put it "in the hangar", so to speak...

It makes one wonder, is all I'm saying - and not that there's anything wrong with these wood and canvas types.

Will two Zepplin deuling be like two Man O'war pulling along side of each other and opening fire? Then out of the higher cloud bank a third Zepplin appears and cherry picks one of the lower two dueling Zepplin by dropping bombs on it. Would Hitech make the gun positions on the Zepplin manable like Death Stars from AW? Then you could load up your squad and peddel over to the nearest enemy aerodrom to slowly cruise around the feild fireing at upping kites.

Heck you could have a Zepplin Lake just for duels between hoards of Zepplins like the old English, French, and Spanish navies. The obserdity of this imagery lends itself to holding Zepplin KOTH's or team duels with squads manning the gun positions in individual Zepplin. How would you rearm the MG positions?

Wonder if the muppets will be our first german cricus?

Don't think the  Muppets fought in WW1.  Might have to be the Peanuts Gang.  I hear Snoopy was an ace :)

AKWabbit,
You should add The Dawn Patrol and Hells Angels to that. If you want some good WWI Aerial Combat.

Warbirds is also very good, used actual WW1 planes to recreate the air battles and ground attacks using real bombs.  Great movie, though it is a silent movie.

Uhh..... The Dawn Patrol and Hells Angels are movies that were made shortly after WWI.  :O


They are not games.  :cool:

Another might be The Eagle Squadron (or something like that.... sorry been over 40 years since I watched it)
