I think Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien OBE, aka Dusty Springfield, can help you with that.

Update #15:
(snip)
you will surely be interested to hear that ALL FILES FOR GIANTS OF THE SKY ARE NOW FINAL and will be on their way to the printer tomorrow. So we are confident to ship out of China in September, and deliver the "Giants" to you in October.
Thanks for your support to Wings of Glory and Ares Games, and remember - If you are at GenCon next week, don't miss the Record Breaker Event on Friday! We still need more players to break the record of 100 players set in Florence in 2013.

I pledged at the Veteran level (1 R-plane + 1 Handley Page), but would like to upgrade to the Collector level (both versions of each, i.e. 4 planes). So do I just put the Collector level in my cart, and it replaces the Veteran level I'd pledged for automatically? Or do I put another Veteran level in my cart and designate the other two plane models? Thanks for any assistance!

I just found out that you can still purchase items from the WOG kickstarter. Now I'm a new rookie with WGF. I still need to find a group for WGS and WGF.

**clipper1801** · 10-08-2015 17:37

Didn't know we could do that? Any chance of ordering the bombers still? Not that I need any more . . . but . . .

**Nachtschwärmer** · 10-08-2015 21:11

Saw the Giants yesterday at the Essen Spiel fair, and man, are these models stunning. Great job, Ares.

**zenlizard** · 10-09-2015 05:36

Nice...wish I could make it over there, but , alas, I have an s/f convention I have to help run today. I am taking my WoG stuff, though, so maybe I can get in a game or two. I'm specifically co-running the con suite, which shares space with the game room, so my chances are actually rather high.

Yes, you can still buy the bombers from Kickstarter:

Looks like we may get them for Christmas.

**David Manley** · 10-27-2015 10:49

Given my family's inability to procure presents other than choccies, shirts and ties I certainly hope so

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 10-27-2015 11:59

That would be a very pleasant surprise.
Rob.

These Giants won't be fitting in any stocking, that's for certain!

There again what do you get for a man (ley) who has everything ??? Antibiotics!

**David Manley** · 10-27-2015 13:57

Did I tell you I used to have an office in Porton Down?

Nowhere near Watership Down I take it , or am I mixing me toasties.

**Oberst Hajj** · 10-28-2015 10:49

And us poor Yanks only have Black Hawk Down

My word that was a rare bit Paul.

A bit morbid Sir if I may (very) politely say so: However Ewan McGregor was also in Brassed Off!

Though some of the humour is a bit English the storyline is one of triumph over adversity. A definite must if you happen to like brass or marching bands

The Upcoming page on the Ares website has postponed the release date for the Giants of the Sky to December. Also there are no planes scheduled for release in January. http://www.aresgames.eu/upcoming-products

Well that sucks!
We will probably be lucky to even get the Straken by Christmas.

**grumpybear** · 10-28-2015 17:10

For once it would be nice if Ares was on time. Nothing to do but wait

**Marechallannes** · 10-29-2015 00:54

I see no reason to hope for a release from month to month.

To get them for Christmas in the USA maybe realistic, but I do not expect them in Europe before 2016. (...and Australia?)

I'm happy if we have the giants for the Summer Con in Prague at end of April.

I'll not complain about it, because I founded the project to get the giants released and know that Ares Games will deliver them to each of the backers.

**flash** · 10-29-2015 01:39

By definition - SNAFU - but as you say Sven they'll get to us eventually. Patience is a virtue as my mum used to say.

**Flying Helmut** · 10-29-2015 05:51

Patience is also a card game.......

**Nightbomber** · 10-29-2015 08:28

Keep smiling chaps! The waiting time may be spent on making custom miniatures. I have so many minis on my Workbench that do not really have time to worry about delivery time. Weekend by weekend the minis take off and now we have the Heavy Bomber Contest on the way! Man your brushes!In the meantime I even backed the KS project TANK! expansion for The Great War boardgame by R.Borg produced by PSC. They promised to send the boxes to the backers with stretch goals (WWI sweet extra tanks!!!) this December.
There is also a great waiting for the Force Awakens. Lots of things to take care of!

**David Manley** · 10-29-2015 08:48

That Tank KS is amazing, all those prepainted tanks (even if basic) for peanuts. I've bought into it plus the Whippet set and I don't even do 15mm WW1 - yet!

I own the KS basic set with the stretch goals and must admit the quality of figurines is above expectations. Also pledged extra for the Whippet exp. All the tanks look incredible. Since all the C&C system games are among my favourite ones, this one will surely fill the WWI gap.
