I've just agreed to enter the World of WGF.
This is NOT a joke. The unthinkable has finally happened!
Celebration time everyone?

Congratulations, Tonx!
Wise move, Barney. There is a WORLD to explore.
Besides that, I am sure WingCo will pull out a crate of Gin on that very fine occasion.
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
You won't regret it. It's clunky, frustrating & slow, but in a fun way. Just don't draw the BOOM! card.
Wow!!! I mean wow!! That is a big step
Welcome to the world of biplanes
Welcome to the 'Bright Side". A move you will not regret!
No. It's a baseless lie that I'm just here for the WingCo's gin! Honest.
Congrats, Barney. It's about time... You won't be disappointed.
Call me again if you join Sails of Glory too...
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
You will certainly enjoy it. Now the madness is complete.
Next thing you know you will be doing WWII in 1/144 scale. You will have a great time with the WW I stuff.
Ease yourself in gently. Start with some Eindeckers and Morane Saulniers.
Well done welcome to the best game ever
About bloody time Barney!
Which models did you grab?
WoG WWI Rules and Accessory Pack
WoG WWI Gotha G V.
WoG WWI Spad XIII Coadou
WoG WWI Sopwith Camel Stackard
WoG WWI Sopwith Snipe Barker
WoG WWI Albatross D.VA Udet
WoG WWI Fokker DR I von Richthofen
WoG WWI Fokker D VII Sachsenberg
Seven in one go Barry including a Gotha. I'm well looking forward to this now
Barney,
Are you busy Saturday evening? I'd love to meet you across a virtual table for a dogfight. You now have the maneuver decks you need to join the Skype game.
International Skype Game Invitation - 1917 Dogfight
If you have the time, and can PM your Skype ID to me, we can get you into a game with a few people around the globe. Darell [grumpybear] is teaching me altitude.

Congratulations Barney, you won't regret your decision. And a nice start to your collection.
Yeah, a Bristol is allmost a must and a german 2-seater. I'd go for a Hannover
True word from a gun jam specialist.
Caproni's Revenge 2015:
I remember a few situations when you maneuvered you plane excellent in perfect shooting position and your guns were jammed.
Barney: That's the next step to empty your wallet...
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
Yes, I remember this game too - academically perfect moves, practically just fail. But even in these situations, you can still ram the enemy
Glad to see the Light Side has claimed a bit of your soul, Barney! You will enjoy WGF (I predict), and the beginning mix of planes you've assembled is a great mid/late war starting point.
Have fun as you become a Magnificent Man in your Flying Machine!
All the best,
Matt
Everyone need Bristols - just remember that... welcome to the better war - after all it was the only one called GREAT !
You will find its so much easier to get planes etc. than WW2
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
bravo sir!!!! welcome to beauty and enlightenment!!!!
Whatever next? Tim playing SoG?
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
Enjoy the breeze in your open cockpit Barney!
Well ... On February 15th 2016 my introductory kit-package arrived safely and I have opened it: HERE WE GO.
To document what happens from now on I have started a brand new Circuits and Bumps II thread - all contributions welcome as the ethos once again is the learning of WGF - very much a How To ... Natured thread.
We won't be seeing the Gotha G.V just yet and I have already documented the sign-up & selection process for the RFC as far as training at RFC Halton and the Avro 504. Once again ALL CONTRIBUTIONS WELCOME
Get yourself a Shorthorn Barney. I have a spare log book for you to record your flying hours in.
PM me with your address.
Kyte.

Good call. That and a Longhorn wouldn't be out-of-place in an RFC training program. Quick question about that log book, Rob. Is it one of those sold by Keith way back in the day? If so, might you snap a couple pics of the covers and interiors? I'm curious as to how they looked and wouldn't be opposed to producing something of the like for myself.
And if it's not at all like that, I'd still love a look at it.
Thanks.
Chris

R504K for training flights for sure.
See you on the Dark Side......
Pity there isn't a 1/144 Scale rendition of the R504K anywhere for me to use in game mechanics photos over on Circuits & Bumps II - could do with one because at this rate the first aircraft I am able to use is the Spad.
Would like to do the graduated approach again like with WGS / Circuits & Bumps I as there are SO many to acquire and the situation remains the same. Rather than taking the gamer approach which Richard Seville suggested I could take today with: Hells Teeth! There's a Gotha approaching the training camp!!!
There is SO much to learn but I am not going to wilt under the pressure - WGS seems to be much easier in comparison but there again WGS was backed up by a ten year interest in WW2 Aviation before I began playing. So I knew how to structure everything. Glad I have chosen the stance to write C & B II from instead of writing it as a flight instructor because this is rapidly turning into a REAL trainee pilot experience for me - literally and laterally
Shorthorns & Longhorns ... Flying attire I guess - headgear?
