plane card stats

**Charlie3** · 09-18-2009 19:29

Has anyone out there already come up with stats for the following planes?
Me 110 twin engine fighter
He 111 Bomber
Do 17 Bomber
Ju 88 Bomber

I want to create a set of rules for the Battle of Britain period of the war, the box game already has the British planes and the Me 109's, but not these important planes.

Nachinus posted a serie of Heinkels an Bristols on the files section (WW2 Custom planes)

I also made Do17s and 110,I'll upload them soon. -athough I'm not happy with the final quality of the dorniers, they are good enough to play-.

Oh, and there will be a specific deck for 110s

I'm currently playing a campaign starting from the Battle of France spanning to the Battle of Britain. We're currently covering Dunkirk battle. Our last addition has been the Bolton Paul Defiant, which is funny and frustrating to play at the same time

The Fire from the Sky box has Stukas and new rules for dive bombing and 40mm Flak, which are really useful for this kind of campaigns.

This is actually what I was looking for although I guess I will need the damage info too. Are you using existing cards or making a whole new set? (different ranges etc.)

Any chance we can get battle reports? I am curious how you handle the size of the forces in the combat area.

Re 110 deck, I made a whole new set, but I haven't tested it yet. Until now, I was using a B deck (just because I have 4 of them) but removing some cards to make it less maneuvrable.

About the size of the forces, we usually play 6-8 players with a fighter or divebomber each (sometimes a player controls 2 divebombers or defiants together, just because they are more likely to be killed and spoil the fun), plus 1-3 big bombers controlled by one side in escort/intercept/bombing missions. But it depends a lot in whose house we are going to play.

When we play in smaller tables we plan simpler missions.

If possible, we try to deploy german fighters in groups of 4, with the usual finger 4 formation of their rotte. And RAF units in their 3 aircraft vic formation. Bit ofc, this is usually not possible for game balance.
