This story remains one of the most memorable and epic OWaW stories in the entire body of work for me. I can remember just checking Eyrie randomly after coming back from my brother's Christmas party after midnight, and being compelled to read the whole thing. It's a crazy war sequence and shows exactly how far the concept of Strike Witches can be pushed when you take it seriously. Seriously one of the most amazing things you've written in the last ten years, Gryph.
