Wings of War

[Grimhelm]

Yeah. I will be designing my own. Since we are playing pseudo-Germans and pseudo-Brits with made up names, I see no reason to adhere to paint schemes. I am not sure what I will come up with, but I am currently leaning toward black and yellow with either a wasp or a bumblebee on the plane somewhere... We'll see.

S.E. 5a

According to this site, one of the WoW developers has said that the SE5A will be in series IV. Three of them!

Plus a "carpet" which I'm guessing is a scenario battle mat??

That is awesome! Thanks for the info!

In addition to the SE 5a, I am glad to see the Breguet BR.14 B2 (bomber) and the Rumpler! The Rumpler doesn't even have a card set yet, but has been heavily requested.

I am very happy about Series 5 & 6, also. I've been wanting a Halberstadt, a Hanriot, and a Sopwith Triplane!

Still, unless they speed up production, we are likely to only see one or two of these in the next year.

Wings of War Miniatures Series 4:
RAF SE5a (from the Dogfight expansion, Manuever N)
Pfalz D. III (from Burning Drachens box, Maneuver J)
Breguet BR.14 B2 (from the Recon Patrol expansion, Manuever K; double-seater)
Rumpler C.IV-VII (not currently in any set. Maneuver unknown, but probably H or K; double-seater)

Wings of War Miniatures Series 5:
Morane Saulnier N (from Immelman expansion, Maneuver P)
Fokker E.III (from Immelman expansion, Maneuver P)
Airco DH.2 (from Immelman expansion, Maneuver G)
Halberstadt D.III (from Watch Your Back boxed set, Maneuver G)

Wings of War Miniatures Series 6:
Hanriot HD.1 (from Watch Your Back boxed set, Maneuver F)
Sopwith Triplane (from Famous Aces boxed set, Maneuver D)

For set 6, only the Allied forces seem set. The only Central Powers plane I can see that doesn't have a model is the S. Schuckert D. III (basically a Snipe, but with an additional sharp turn card), so I imagine it will appear in set 6 (but this is conjecture, of course).

Rules question:

I just reread the acrobat feat and discovered that I have been playing it incorrectly. The feat is only available once per dogfight. My real question is: why? I don't really understand if I can do such a thing once why I couldn't do it more than once...

I am requesting an edit of this rule. Thoughts?

Edit: Okay... in another print out I have, it states that Acrobat can be used more than once per dog fight, just not two turns in a row... I like this better. Apparently this one is written by the designer of the game, too.
