Hello!
I first saw this game in a TSR catalog way back in the early 80s (a catalog I still have!) and have been looking for it ever since. problem is I am from Puerto Rico and we have VERY few wargame stores here so a couple decades later (3 weeks ago) I won a copy on E-Bay!!! so now I’m recruiting players over here. very interested in all things WWI, specially the air campaigns!!!!
Welcome to the game, very pleased to see someone newer than me I have just got the 1982 TSR box too (via Amazon) and I am going to play my very first game via email soon. That could be an option for you if you cannot find any local folk who are interested.
Yes, we still have a last space available in egame15. If you are interested, go into the EGame15 thread under Dawn Patrol Email Games and sign in there. I can help you download the software and you are more than welcome to play. Only one spot is left (and I am surprised it is still open…).
Thought I would check back with you Herr Bubu: How is your gaming community doing, and how is their interest in Dawn Patrol?
If you managed to download Vassal and the Dawn Patrol module, you should look in on our game that should be forming around 8:30 Eastern time. The online game took a bit of a break for the summer, but things are picking up again. If you are interested, you are more than welcome to to join!
