Thread: No Climb / Dive in Maneuver Deck G

  1. #1

    Default No Climb / Dive in Maneuver Deck G

    Is it true that there aren't any climb or dive cards in Maneuver Deck G? There are only 16 cards, and none of them have red lines.

    I assume that planes using that deck (such as the FE2b) were capable of changing altitude. Does anyone know what's going on with that?

    When the game first came out, there were no altitude rules, so no climb and dive cards. The altitude rules were added later. The 'Burning Drachens' box contains climb & dive cards to go with those decks in the earlier releases. And yes, every airplane was capable of changing altitude

    Swell. That's going for $85--a lot to pay for a couple of cards.

    I guess what I need to do is find another deck with roughly the same length straight maneuver as G, and use the climb/dive from that.

    You could use the MATES card available in the Files section.

    Go to http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/dow...o=file&id=2379

    or http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/dow...o=file&id=2366

    to download whichever version you prefer.

    Be patient. I got one from ebay for about 30, no there bidders ;-). Lots of usable goodies in there.
    Failing that the MATES suggestion is a good one. Also somewhere on the forum is a reference showing commonality between decks-which have same speed, etc.- that you could use at need.

    P,E,R,T,Y - Are the comparable decks for speed John, or, find an Immelmann Booster Set with 2x P & a G deck

    Getting a little long in the tooth here, but I seem to remember that the WyB G deck was obsolesced by the P & T decks...

    Only in so far as the change to the DH.2 - it's still good for some unofficial machines such as the FE2b
