GRAPEVINE, TX - December 23, 2002 - HiTech Creations, producer of the award winning online combat sim Aces High, has unveiled their latest version (1.11) of the premier air, land, and sea WWII battlefront. This version continues Aces High's tradition of continual advances and improvements. New units in 1.11 are the Me 163 Komet, Ju 87D Stuka, Panzer VI Tiger, and the B5N2 Kate torpedo bomber. In addition to a number of gameplay features such as automatic compensation for outnumbered teams, the heart of the version is a re-engineered network code to give players the smoothest Internet playability to date.

"We spent a lot of effort in this version looking for ways to improve the crispness of play over the Internet," says company CEO, Dale Addink. "Although we felt that Aces High was the best in that regard when compared to other Internet games, we still knew that there was room to improve. We are extremely excited about the improvements we made in this area for 1.11. The smoothness of the dogfights is remarkable, even without considering that your opponent may be fighting you from half-way around the world."

In addition to the new version, Aces High is also sponsoring the Championship Shootout, a four-month qualifying event in which the top pilots each month are awarded cash prizes and the opportunity to compete in the Championship Shootout for the grand prize of $500.
