Wolfgang? Buttzell, Wurger, Lowingrin, RivRat, Degelow? Hell yes I remember you guys! Don't worry, I'm on your side in this. I was not trying to take JG1's place in the new Red Baron, in fact, when I saw that none of you were involved yet, my plan was to grab the name and hold it till you showed up. Yes, you may be the original JG1, but not for the new Red Baron game yet without hoisting the flag there. I didn't want some squatter coming in and claiming the name, potentially leading to an ugly "turf war" later. I would like to reinlist with JG1, but, at least for the moment, as it's official representative in Red Baron till the game actually starts. I'll keep the rest of you posted on developments there. I do have ROF, but haven't flown it for years, but may try it again. So, with your permission, I'll reassume the JG1 prefix and represent you in RB until such time as you start participating in that community. It's good to see you folks again! Salute! JG1_Spartan

Salute! I'm a member of JG1 from the old RB3D days. Some of you may remember me, or not. I was JG1_Franz_J4 back then and participated in several of the FIF tournaments. I was Karl Allmenroders shadow, lol. When JG1 migrated to IL-2, I stayed behind and joined a couple of other fading RB squads till Red Baron died all together. I played IL-2 some, but it just never held the interest for me that the WWI game had. I'm sure you guys have probably heard, but Damon Slye has ownership of RB again and has plans on restarting an updated version. Hearing that brought me to their forums http://www.redbarongame.com/forum/index.php?forums/ . It looks like the game is still months, or perhaps a year down the road, but I started a thread asking if others would be interested in reforming the WWI version of JG1. One person has responded so far, although the forums are very slow at the moment. I figured you guys were still in operation, so I searched till I found you in order to make you aware of what was going on with the old game and to see if anyone is interested in reestablishing JG1 there before another group grabs the name. I'm not sure if the squad or any individual pilots are interested in returning to Red Baron, but wanted you to know. If the squad wants to weigh in, then I'll step aside and let you assume command of the WWI group as well. If not, then I'll see what I can do with whatever group I can gather there. S! Spartan
