Dipping into WWI with Wings of Glory

Not I, surprisingly. What do you think?

I've been playing Wings of Glory since it was Wings of War. I have a good collection of both the WW1 and WW2 versions.
Used to play it a lot and even played in tournaments and won them :-)

Its a great game. Simple, easy and a lot of fun. When my daughter was just 9-10yo she loved playing the DR1 just so that she could say that she was a little Fokker.

You can even get the War of the Worlds version Triplanes Vs Tripods which I have played. I wish I could post pictures of the game.
I also have all the Wings of Glory and Sails of Glory vinyl playmats that I use for a lot of other miniature games.

I would always use maps I already own. I've only brought others because I play a variety of games and now I've got playmats to suite any land, air and naval games I play.

However if you can afford it then why not?

I have tried it many years ago at a gaming con somewhere.
I did not like the movement mechanics and at the time I was fully committed to AAM/WaS and AAAF. Other games had no way to get "in"
The models look good and for those [players interested in WWI it is the only option I know.
BTY- I have seen many pics of Boomer Bill's custom planes and they look really great, he is an artist and historian.
Have you played yet Bill?

I just got into Wings of Glory WWI. I really like Ares Games’ miniature games. I’ve got the US planes and a spattering of British and German late war planes. The only US plane I’m missing is Rickenbacker’s Nieuport 28, if anyone is looking to get rid of theirs.
