• Online Game Saturday! - 25 September 2025

  Greetings Pilots!A lesser used feature of CounterAttack: Uprising is the very large online rooms.

I'll have the room open at least 30 mins before and aim to start the games at the following times:11:00 (11am) PST13:00 (1pm) PST18:00 (6pm) PST20:00 (8pm) PSTAs an added bonus, I'll hand out some CounterAttack Steam items to the highest scoring pilots.
