Title: World War I in the air
Post by: EvilGinger on 11 December 2012, 17:38:11
I have just succumbed to the concept of printed models & put in a test order for some 1:350 Shapeways biplanes which I plan to use for Wing of War & Algy, the toofatlardies WWI air war rules when it comes back out.

For the Entente

not here yet & I really need to put in another order as I have realised that I have mused off the DH2 for a start & I have really got into play testing Algernon  pulls it off again & its not the same using counters.

I will add that the rules will work with Wings of War AKA Wings of Glory sized planes & that Shapeways do an even larger selection of those to fill the gaps in the existing range just get them in something other than WSF material

My first shapeway's  order should arrive at Spirit Games tomorrow it is missing the DH2 I forgot to order the Habersdat DII which needs revising before it prints so it should consist of four Rumpler C1's four Focker DII's four Fe2B's & four Be2's I will post pictures as soon as I can.
