Description Edit | History

Add a new dimension to Wings of War with Wings of War: Miniatures! The award-winning game mechanics of Wings of War remain unchanged in the Wings of War: Miniatures boxed sets: easy, fast, fun rules for re-creating aerial combat in the 20th Century. But now, beautifully painted and assembled 1/144 scale planes replace the plane cards for an enhanced visual experience and the joy of collectors and aviation fans! Each will have a special playing base with all the information you need play Wings of War.

Wings of War: Miniatures will be available in two formats: complete sets with 4 planes, maneuver cards, control boards; or single-plane blisters, each containing one 1/144 model plane, assembled and painted, and its deck of maneuver cards.

The boxed sets are an ideal introductory set or a gift, while previous owners of Wings of War may directly go and get the single- blisters to enhance their gaming experience and create a unique collection! The first series includes some of the most popular planes of WW1: the Fokker DR.I, the Sopwith Camel, the Albatross and the SPAD XIII, each in multiple versions with different color schemes.

My new buying... =)

6 WOW min deck comparison
Here is a rough copy of my spreadsheed for Wings-of-War. It is posted here because of an user request. However, it is applicable to all Wings-of-War. There are other spreadsheets and graphics available but they do not represent the capabilities in turning using 3 cards. I have 2 sheets in this file, the WOW pilots (describing their airplanes) and the WOW Airplane which compares airplane by maneuver deck. The game mechanisms don't care about the airplane and pilot, only the maneuver deck, so this is where comparisons should be made. Good luck!
