Incase you havnt noticed, i have mad 2 RPG's in the past, 1 (Dead Legions) went well, but i had to pass it off. The other, (Stalingrad: Operation Barbarossa) died due to lack of interest. I will try to make this the best RPG i have done yet, and dont worry if i dont respond soon, i will eventually and there is good reason!
Thanks, Mav --- This is one of the few 'flying/plane' RPG's! I think it may even be the first! --- Please bear with me if carrier names, and plane names dont match up with their respective year. This is for games sake. --- If this prooves popular, I MAY do a Flyboys: Europe, Flyboys: Battle of Britain, and others --- There will not be any more notices after this --- Story Your walking down Main street in your tiny town, and happen to pass a Navy Recruiting store. You walk in, and, after a long talk, you join. This was a while back, and now you've just passed flight school. With your wings shining on your lapel, you say your goodbyes and prepare to fight the Japs!
