The last week of February is upon us and we have two more Special Events in store for all of you flight sim gamers.

On the 28^th we have the final Aces High XTreme Air Racing League, listed on the calendar as AHXARL, and then the next day, the 29^th, we have the final Snapshot for the month, this one called “Rabaul.”

Both promise to be balls-out excitement and of course a major test of your skills as you go up against the best war game gamers in the world. Strap on your helmets and Fly The Skies of Aces High!

This is part of our Battle series for our combat flight simulator. For 22 days during December of 1943 the British 8^th Army under the leadership of Harold Alexander did battle with the LXXVI Panzer Corps of Germany which was led by Albert Kesselring. It was Alexander’s intentions to breach the German Winter Line defensive system and advance to Rome. The German Tenth Army was determined to prevent that at all costs.

Along the Moro River in Italy the battles continued daily, attacking, counter-attacking, casualties mounting on both sides, until it became clear that a stalemate was going to be the end result. Finally by December 26^th the offensive stalled and brutal winter weather set in; the blizzard kept both sides from doing any further damage and Alexander was forced to call off his troops and not try for further gains.

The gains that were made by the Allies, however, led to the eventual fall of Rome, so in a very real sense this Campaign, as part of the larger Rome Campaign, was a success.   Final casualties for the Germans are unknown but for the Allies it broke down like this: Canadian forces lost 2,339; New Zealand forces lost 1,600 and India lost 3,400 men.

We at HiTech Creations greatly appreciate the battles and campaigns of World War 2; it really was like a giant chess match, pieces seemingly unconnected moving across a board that spanned nearly the entire globe, all coordinated with a singular purpose. When we created Aces High, our combat flight simulator, we intended for it to be much more than just a flight sim for gamers. Rather, we meant for it to be a tribute to the soldiers who fought that war and who were a part of that grand chess match.

As you become familiar with Aces High and become more proficient you will see the similarities between this war game and actual war. In scenarios you will join squadrons and move your pieces in coordinated fashion. You will be aware of ground movements of your armored divisions; you will keep your PT boats at the ready all the while scouting the areas with your aircraft. Hundreds of the world’s best gamers will be competing against you, making it very much a world campaign.

World War 2 Flight Simulators don’t come more realistic than Aces High. You can scout out our competitors but we are confident that once you compare you will come back to Aces High each and every time. We truly are the best flight simulator on the market.

Scroll through the menu and when you come to Downloads click it and then click on Content Editors.

This is a great feature on Aces High and one well-worth checking out. Combat flight simulators just don’t come any better than this. If you don’t believe us then download Aces High and give it a try; we are sure you won’t try any other flight sim after you Fly The Skies With Aces High!
