    Giannino Ancillotto was a real badass. He was awarded a golden medal for a mission on this very Nieuport. He was so concentrated diving on the drachen, trying to get so close to be sure that the erratic rockets would hit it, to pass across the exploding balloon since once it was sure that it was being destroyed it was too late to avoid it.

    He was back home with huge pieces of balloon hanging from his plane.

    Part of that was used to make a coat that he gave as a givt to the Duke of Aosta, commander of thye 3rd Army Ancillotto belonged to.
    Actually the balloon was not gray as in the fantasy depiction on the newspaper above, but yellow. The yellow of the Wings of War balloon has been chosen from that pieces of canvas. That I never saw - but my friend Paolo Varriale, who visited several Italian aces' families for his book for the Italian Air Force Ministry (in English by Schiffer), had them in his very hands and gave us instructions for that.

    Could this be a hint that Ares are considering re-releasing the balloon models?

    Yes they are. The Rules Pack already has rules for them...

    Exactly.

    I understand Andrzej's - and other people's too - concern about all planes being lame variants of previous ones. As you know, I worked on some rules to feature some specific advantages and faults of single plane models:

    In these packs you will find a few optional cards with such rules, and sometimes ace cards or skills. I hope that you will appreciate them.
    I can almost feel that refreshing breeze and flavour that come from Bella Italia, Andrea! Forzaaaa!

    Sorry, I'm too new - when you speak of A-H scouts, are you talking about planes that use maneuver decks A through H?

    I fell in love to the Austrian-Hungarian / Italy front.

    So I need each Italian model to fight the A-H Albatros D.III & D.II.

    Shame on you Watchdog!




    A French Nieuport 11 is obligatory.

    Thanks for the great previews.
    As always I'll be buying one of everything and maybe two of each of the Phonix aircraft.
    I'm also very honored by your quote.

    Yes indeed, those previews of the Nieuports make me even more keen to get my hands upon them all.

    I'll probably give the AH planes a miss, Shepeways gave me the others years ago but I may well get a few anyway for some variety, the Nieuports in particular.

    I'll get one of each for the collection, but many of these will be hangar queens for me. There are actually several minis from past Series that have never taken flight on my table

    Same here. I'm sure many of us have more planes that haven't flown than we'd like to admit. Still, we have to have them!

    Im pleased to say all except newly completed minis, three seaplanes and two Strutters , two of "those" aircraft and Kibanovs Nieuport have flown, Out of quite a few in my collection. "Those aircraft we got for the sake of completeness and even though fixed have not been flown yet.
    But now intend to get all of next series

  29. #329

    Mainly the ones earmarked to appear in Solo AARs where we have not yet hit the time schedule or passed it before the aircraft was available.

    I want series 9 more than anything else because it populates the rather threadbare 1916 time period. Apart from these, a couple of series 3 & 4 reprints (and of course the slowly approaching super bombers) im struggling to see if the game has much future left in it in terms of new releases (im sure it will continue to be played for decades to come).

    I would think there are a fair number of 'availables' still out there - granted, probably more Entente rather than Central Powers planes - depending on how esoteric Ares decides to go with things...although they have produced some fairly esoteric versions of the planes they have produced so far.

    I think there are plenty more to come (hopefully) And if they were to do more two-seaters for all concerned, there could be quite a few still...even though those aren't really 'sexy' plane types...

    I'll be happy when I get my giants and when this series comes out!

    All the best,
    Matt

    Well there are still some Major aircraft lacking particularly for the Allies as others have stated.
    Three vital ones just for starters:

    BE 2 series
    Sopwith Pup
    FE 2b

    These are iconic WW1 aircraft & must be made available.

    On the Reprint side the SE 5a MUST be brought forward if only as a stand alone reprint or via a Entente Double pack such as it & a Pup!

    With only 3 paint schemes per release we could easily have repeats of series in completely new schemes.

    The French and Italians could easily have more releases as well as Russia.

    The Pfalz D.XII definitely, and the Roland D.IV would be nice. So that's 1 series of new.
    The E.IV was an abortive failure, and the D.II/IIIs were marginal warplanes at best.

    With 49 examples of the E.IV made, and hated by their pilots, I would rather have a reprise of something else inserted.
    Moreover, it's release would just encourage the munchkins to try and fly the 3 gun version, which never flew, and would have killed it's pilot the first time he tried to shoot down another plane.
