Yeah, I’m resisting so far....  :P I’m happy with Wings of Glory, which I already have a lot of.

Will be really interested when they come out with the WWII and beyond games.  :D

Tempted by this. The price is reasonable as well.

WW2 and post WW2 versions to follow, apparently.

These air combat games are generally better with miniatures. Wing Leader works well because the counters represent flights of aircraft.

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

It may play well, but it certainly does not have the visual impact of games that use mini's.

Looks like it has a really good selection of aircraft, with even more in the stretch goals.

Totally backed it. Not all the extras ofc, but the expansion and some more bits and pieces.

Call me ol'fashioned but there's something about those "crazy flying machines" and the men that dared to fly them... in combat...
