Thread: Operational Training and Conversion

  1. #1

    Default Operational Training and Conversion

    OK I've been a long time player of WWI starting back when it was still Wings of War. After a couple of games at conventions (it's all your fault, Rich), I decided to take the plunge and buy the Fire from the Sky and WWII Rules & Accessories sets.

    I am not short of 1/144th scale planes, having a combat box of nine B.17F escorted by five P.38's and five P.47's with fifteen FW190A, four Bf109 and two Bf110 top oppose them. On the other side of the globe I have four of each major US and Japanese carrier plane present at Midway: fighter, dive bomber and torpedo. I also have the opposing task forces (carriers and escorts) in Axis & Allies 1:1800 miniatures. Enough to be going on with, I think.

    So where to I go from here?

    Really hard question to answer.

    I tried a bit of everything and nearly bankrupted myself!
    It may be best to liaise with your local playing group and decide on a priority theatre, then concentrate on that for a bit. Do one theatre really well, rather than a bit of lots of different ones?
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!

    Well living out in the boonies here I pretty much am the local playing group! There are at the most six players at our games if you include my wife and my friends daughter........
    I think we are well covered for those two theaters regarding models, but maneuver decks or non availability thereof is going to kill the project stone dead.
