R-deck needed
I'm in need of an R-deck for a Bristol Scout
The Nieuport 16 coming out in September use R decks. You could get one from those.
The R deck only came in the Nexus Balloon Busting set, which contained the Nieuport Ni.16 with rockets. Oh. And perhaps the Ares Tripod Sets?
Ares did release two Ni.16 plane packs for the Tripod expansion: General Overview of Released Minis WWI - Special Pack #4 - Tripods & Triplanes

The Nexus & Ares R decks are different, the latter being more agile by dint of having 2 wide sideslips the original R deck doesn't have.
I'm sure the chaps who have these digitally will be able to help you out, Larry.

This is interesting, Dave. I have the impression the Bristol Scout was fast and maneuverable for its day. Perhaps a forum member has an extra deck he would be willing to part with, or as you suggest, in digital form. No hurry, though, as I'm planning ahead for a future game.
I expect that's why it got the R deck from the committee. I use my Nexus R decks for my Scouts as that's what was available at the time they made the decision.Originally Posted by Larry R.
Unlikely you'll find an extra deck as it only came with a model but you never know what'll turn up; there are digital versions out there though, for sure.

Here's a link to a digital version of the Nexus one, Larry: wgf I don't have a digital yet of the Ares version but will upload it sometime if I get my hands on it.
I wasn't aware the Bristol was assigned the 'R' deck (even though I have the Unofficial Stats file in my WGF collection)
I've had a few Shapeways versions that I got from Clipper several years ago but never got around to finishing them.
Both cards I downloaded from the site show the 'G' deck - guess I had better look for others.
Probably too late to incorporate them into OTT now ...
This will work! Many thanks, Chris!
