Anyone here still playing Wings of War?
Wings of War? Anyone?
Yup. Been playing it and buying up everything I can find for it. Ares has released some nice new minis but they are very slow to bring new stuff out.
It has actually gotten much better. I first got into it just before FFG dropped it, and it was next to impossible to find minis. Now, it isn't so bad, though it is still next to impossible to find some of the Nexus planes, like the Nieuport 17s.
I just play WW2. I've been spending far too much money on eBay getting my meat hooks on the out of print WoW stuff but I've now got a decent collection.
Ares just posted some photos of the new series 6 minis coming out in 2016. They look great! I can't wait to get a bunch of the SBDs and set up some new carrier attack missions. Up until now, we've been doing zeroes and Vals attacking US ships while Wildcats defend. We did try out some house rules simulating a B-25 strafing Japanese shipping while escorted by some P-40s and F4-Fs and it worked out OK. It's a shame that there isn't really any theatre appropriate Allied fighter that can go up against the Ki-61 right now. Hopefully they'll put out some P-38s and F6Fs soon.
We very rarely play WWII, but I do have a few planes. And there is a company that makes a 1:200 P-38, if you want to go the unofficial route.
