The weekend is coming, the first weekend of December, 2012, and you know what that means?  It means more spills and chills playing Special Events on Aces High, the number one combat flight simulator on the market.

Check it out:  December 7^th, the day that will live on in infamy, has a special event called “This Day in History,” and of course we are referring to Pearl Harbor.  Then, on Sunday the 9^th, we will have our first SEC, or Sunday European Campaign, of the month.  This is a great chance to partake in some strategy sessions and play with the big boys.

Why should you sign on for Aces High?  A fair question for sure!  How is this for an answer?  Aces High is the number one combat flight simulator on the market and it has been for thirteen years.  In this case, longevity speaks volumes, don’t you think?

Why not sign on for the free two-week download of Aces High?  We are betting that after two weeks you will be as hooked as all the other great flight sim gamers that grace our site every single day.

Hey, it’s almost Christmas!  How about signing up your gamer for a year’s subscription to Aces High?

As we at HiTech Creations continue our timeline of World War II, today we will take a look at the month that started it all for the United States.  We are, of course, talking about December, 1941.  As the month began, few in America could predict how much life would change in a mere seven days.

Aces High is our World War 2 Flight Simulator dedicated to the war effort during World War II.  We hope you enjoy this brief timeline of December, 1941.

What a month!  For the first seven days all was normal for the United States.  Then, all hell broke loose, and four years of bitter struggle followed.  We at Aces High hope you are enjoying this timeline of the different months of WWII.  From the number of flight sim gamers we have, we are guessing that a great number of you will find this as interesting as we do.

Let us dive right into the Special Events schedule for December, 2012.  We get it started tomorrow, December 4^th, with our weekly AHXARL, or Aces High XTreme Air Racing League.
