Happy anniversary to you!

On D-Day (6 June) this year, World War II Online ( wwiionline.com ) will be twenty years old and it's still the only game like it in the world. The Rats (developers - Cornered Rat Studios) are planning something special, for the anniversary. Thanks to the Community Management and Marketing Team members, there are several mini-events lined up for the first week of June (June 1st through June 4th) followed by a special 2 day virtual convention. Some of the listed events will be open to all players, and other events will be limited to those who signup (details to be posted at a later date). Tentatively, here's a brief overview:

Tuesday, June 1st - "Poseidon's Wrath" naval event
     *Destroyers battle it out to be labeled "King of the Sea"
Wednesday, June 2nd - "Thou Shalt not Pass" tank event.
     *Players spawn either a Vicky or 232, objective is to successfully get your unit, alive, across the bridge while your opponent tries to do same thing to you!
Thursday, June 3rd - "Ace of Aces" fighter air event.
     Think you're the best? This will be a single elimination, pilots drawn by lot for matchups.
Friday, June 4th - "Last Man Standing" infantry event, and "Grand Prix" truck race event.
     *Grab your knife and rush/take/keep control of an Army Base bunker!
Historically a community favorite, but with a jwrona twist??? We shall see!
Saturday and Sunday June 5th and 6th -
     *The virtual convention events cannot be revealed at this time, however, I can say this will be the most EPIC Anniversary in the game's history. Prepare to be blown away - seriously!!!

Keeping with Anniversary traditions, awards will be given to the top player of each "mini-event". The top player award will be a one of a kind 20th Anniversary themed XXL Game mat.

Interesting game. How does it compare to "world of world war 2, three"?
