Holding The Line Chapter 175

This week we wish HTL a happy birthday as the project celebrates its fifth birthday. Wow, time sure flies. Now here's Raptor with the latest chapter:

Hey all, Raptor here.

HTL continues with "Finest Hour", the fifth story in a series about the big Finale battle which is written by yours truly. As you saw in previous stories, what had been expected to be a mopping up operation had suddenly turned pear shaped. The Combined Fleet had been forced to scramble its fighters as news filtered through of a powerful new enemy force bearing down on it, and its commanders had been left searching for some way out of the situation. This story picks up from there. Your comments and feedback are much appreciated.

On another note, HTL celebrated its fifth birthday this week, having started publishing stories on 28th January 1999. In that time, HTL has gone from being an underdog storyline comprised of mostly unknown writers to being the Aces Club's main story effort. It is now close to 90 percent complete, and currently publishing its final battle arc.

Best, Raptor

We Want To Measure You

Among the various promotional items we've proposed lately, it looks like our polo shirts will pan out first. If you intend to pick up one of these shirts and are a registered Crius.net member, drop on by and vote in Jibbo's size poll. This will help us determine how to balance our order. The price is expected to be about $20 per shirt with higher costs for the larger sizes and overseas shipping. Thanks for the input.
