Title: AH Reunion
Post by: BaldEagl on August 17, 2013, 01:53:16 AM
I'm calling for an AH reunion getting all past and present players together for one month.

The recession is ending both in the US and Europe.  Many have taken a long (some too long) break.  Summer is almost ending.

Over the next six months let's coordinate a one month reunion and bring the game back to it's former glory.  It would be good to see some of the old aces of Aces High return if only for a month.

Not a bad idea at all.  :aok We've done this in a minor scale during last winter with somewhat of a success, in a worldwide scale the fun will certainly be, err, bigger.  :cheers:

Just the other day, I was reminiscing over all the great Evil Con Missions we used to enjoy on Saturday nights, at the AH Cons in Grapevine.

Lessee, sheep with 6 50 cals, RV-8's with a Vulcan cannon, sharks with laser beams...  My oh my, did we piss folks off  :devil The whining was deafening.  :neener:

As you know ammo I'm a bona fide former FDB. I was so drunk at the time I can't remember who else was in the Squad.

A grand idea. I hope it can be worked out in reality!

I would very much like to dedicate at least one of those days to have an event to remember those that cannot make it back to the skies of Aces High.

Perhaps you can talk it up with HTC and see if they can mail all past subscribers and offer a $10/month 'reunion special' or something.

Dead serious. The Evil Mission ride was limited to those attending the Con on Saturday night. Come 9:00 CDT the terror began.

I remember that night, the last couple hours they turned them on for everyone to enjoy, and it was hilariously fun.

Many nights I winged Mathman in Hellcats.   He taught me a lot in the first few years of playing this game.   Last winged him around 2008 when he had a 2 weeker trial.

This could be a debatable claim for some….but I won’t quibble over it.  ;)

Personally, I’d love to see the Rogue Gryffon’s squad back in the game.  A friend of mine was the XO and he was to blame for pulling me into the “Crack Habit madness” that is AH back in 2005.  Sadly, it appears the Gryffons all wandered off the reservation.  

I see a new squad, the “Rogue Griffons”, was founded with the original founders consent…but they play World of Tanks and that other WWII air combat game with "better" graphics, mouse aiming and an arcade flight model.  :frown: :(  

NOTE:  Post "fixed".   :D

Most recent con plane, it was the last one held (maybe circa 2011?!  :uhoh ), and also doubled as kind of a promo for the then-not-yet released WWI arena and associated aircraft, as well as the recently updated and released damage modeling.


Anyone heard of talks from HTCs of the next AH con?  I would love to swing it into my busy schedule.  I got a calander full yesterday when I went to work at the hangar last night after work (prop seal on a neighboring wing's AN2 (a new favorite, the plane is just funky, hilarious and fun to fly in)) - imminently is Big Bear Air Fair (CA) this weekend, and then the big ones comming up with the wing are Reno (NAR, NV, 50th anniv!) next month and then there's Midland, TX in October.

I thought the Claw was the last one.

Mathman was an artist in the hellcat - no doubt.

well there is a Hurricane mk 1 with a Finnish skin, that needs as many willing volunteers to defeat the Hun.  September 7th + 4 weeks.

sign up on AH events website!!   :cheers:

I think the claw came the year before, but maybe the year after.  It's been a couple years since the last (I think?). For certain though I remember thesuperfokker coincided with the WWI arena development, so if we can lock that down we can find about what year it was.
