Welcome to the world of the exciting aerial battles of the First World War!

The game includes only two rooms, and both of them are open to all users free of charge. These rooms are full most of the time: as soon as one player leaves, another one comes in.

If you want to secure your access to the game, you should purchase credits before entering the game. More free rooms won't be created for this game in the future. The game will remain almost entirely credit-based. This allows us to finance and develop various Playray activities. All our other games that have been accessible free of charge so far continue to be free in the future.

First you enter the game lobby. Once you are in the lobby, you can choose the room you want to enter. After having chosen a room you can join the game by clicking the .Join. button. You also can chat with other users in the lobby, or join one of the ongoing games as a viewer.
