BTW, you will find WITP: AE much less expensive than you anticipate because you will spend far less on other games.

Status: offline 		AE will give you so much bang per buck that you will wonder why you even bothered after launching it for the first time. I promise.

I played its grandfather, Uncommon valor, its predecessor, WitP and now AE for about 7 years now.
Every single of them is a masterpiece and Admirals Edition is their king.


Regarding the manual: Many things have changed since the first release, so not all information is correct anymore. Still its worth
to have a hardcopy. For everything else theres always somebody here to answer questions.

The perfect spouse or girlfriend!

Wait...how would my ego handle getting crushed in scenario 1 by my wife? Ok, maybe its better that my wife simply looks at me staring at my laptop screen, smiles and asks, "are you winning?"

After some crying my grandpa (served in the war) told me to place AT and AA guns and showed me wich one those are (I stole them from my brother) There it all began I guess. Now I am an adult and my silly husband cant tell the difference between a Spitfire and a BF109 *shudders*
