I'm in! Picked up the UE today! I decided that since the Germans had never got much love from me (mostly due to my inability to come up with cool names and them not having the N17 or SE5a), I would first enlist with Karl Spieler in the tail end of 1915:

It was, amazingly, a jaunt out over the lines with me in charge on my first flight! I was so nervous, I couldn't even remember my observer's name, let alone my wingman's. Of course, having the gun muzzle so close to my ear did not ease my concerns...

Well, as luck would have it, I made it back without any enemy contact. In fact, the ground forces were so busy pounding each other, they never even sent any ordinance our way. I feel fairly confident that future sorties will not be so placid...


The older I get, the more I realize I don't need to be Han, Luke or Leia. I'm just happy to be rebel scum...
