There you have the unveiling. The map of London, I flipped it over and only have a partial of the one side.

Happy Flying

[Stumptonian]

Looking forward to getting mine, along with the HP, next week.
Thanks for giving us a "taste"

[Пилот]

It's really huge!

How many HP?

[LOOP]

I wonder how in earth you are suppose to bring that one down when you only have mosquitos to fly. Well a Mosquito just might do the trick

[Dan-Sam]

Thank you for map photo

[Marechallannes]

Interesting map picture!

Maybe we can use this for BoB and Reichsverteidigung scenarios.

Exactly my idea!
Now how do you guys think we could laminate/preserve them. I hate playing minis on an unfolded poster.

[Marechallannes]

Maybe they release those maps as standart ones, some day.

...or we have to ask in a copy shop, how to get the map on a more playable surface.

Biblically David brought Goliath down. Historically one person's decision to try and turn away from an iceberg caused the greatest maritime disaster in history ... There has to be a way because nothing is perfect.

This I think could be a few Solitaire games in the making which offer the best learning and experimentation opportunities. This is what I found when it came to attacking a dam in WGS ...

DALE: Congrats on your new arrival - glad you have received safely and thank you for the unveiling / unboxing photos above.

[Teaticket]

Nice! Thanks for the unveiling. I will be running a London bombing run at Cold Wars in March and again at Havoc in April. Hmmmm, maybe again at Huzzah in May...

Maybe a print shop can make copies on fabric or at least an unfolded poster size print. These maps will be very useful for both WWI and WW2.

[Willi Von Klugermann]

Looks nice.

I got a perspex sheet ehich I intend to place over the map for game purposes

[Nachtschwärmer]

Thank you for the pics, Dale. And can you please tell us which pilots are in the Ace Deck that comes with the Giant?

[csadn]

...and the meaning of the word "mini" is officially Lost. :)

... and on that note we may need a new emoticon for "maxi" ...

Upgunned Bristol Per - works every time - may I recommend the night fighter version with the AB/A gun layout... works well on Zeppelins as well

[Flying Helmut]

Oh, that Staaken's big - BIG!

Thanks for the pictures!

Oh no it doesn't!

[gully_raker]

34 so I understand!

[gully_raker]

Many thanks for posting the pics of your unpacking!

[Nightbomber]

Frankly, I did not realize how BIG those beasts were... amazing.

[Пилот]

34 so I understand!

Thanks, Barry! Need some guns to destroy it

[Beer&pretzels]

Two Staakens and two HP 400's landed in Illinois today. Games will be good this weekend.

[Setarius]

I have more information on another thread here in the OC. I tried to answer what questions I had at that time.

Can someone post similar stats for the Handley-Pages for comparison purposes?

[csadn]

Bristols are a favorit I don't have the nightfighter only the other two. But I'm about to invest in a SPAD XII. That just might do the trick as well

[LOOP]

But one on one you will need luck to bring the Staaken down. You need several fighters attacking at the same time I think. Can't wait to do some testing

[milcoll73]

looks awesome!! cant wait to get my hands on one!!!

[Archidamus]

Looks great - can't wait for the Giants to land here in the UK (and for our group to run the planned mass Staaken raid )
