**eriko76** · 10-30-2011 08:42

Hallo,
Yesterday I was in Lucca at Lucca Comics & Games..
here is some "stolen" pictures from the stand of RedGlove ....

Enrico

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 10-30-2011 08:49

Very good work that man. Taking surreptitious photographs from that altitude and getting them back to HQ. must get you a mention in dispatches to Attilio.
Kyte.

**eriko76** · 10-30-2011 09:08

Thanks Sir.

I only did my duty .... low defended objective,
just a lovely girl who looked at me with suspicion while photographing.

More photos in albums on my personal profile.

**Ranger** · 10-30-2011 09:27

So, these are prototypes of the future aircraft and repaints I take it.

The other pictures give even more of an insight into the way Ares seem to be thinking. Thanks.
Rob.

**Boney10** · 10-30-2011 10:00

Well done that man, excellent recce photos, despite the obvious cunning plan of having lovely bit of scenery trying to put off your aim.

Like the look of nearly all those on show, except the ones I already repainted.
Is that the "Kissenberth" camel in the back row ?

**Tommy Z** · 10-30-2011 10:36

Well executed recon mission! Glad to see you survived!

**David Manley** · 10-30-2011 10:44

Oh no, not the Kissenberth

Dust catcher spotted!

The others are Ok though

**Kaiser** · 10-30-2011 12:06

OOooh pretty

**Marechallannes** · 10-30-2011 13:42

Great pictures!

Bombers, series V WoG I and the series III WoG II and:

The next 4 planes of the New Wings of Glory WW I Deluxe Set...

**Ranger** · 10-30-2011 13:57

Well, kind of interesting that I only see 1 Dr. I in the reprints.

**Attila57** · 10-30-2011 14:06

Good recon mission Enrico! Very nice photos and report!!

As Andrea wrote in another forum, during Lucca Games, Ares Games and Red Glove (their distributor in Italy), on November 1 at 13:00 in the Sala Ingellis, will present the Gotha and Caproni models, Wings of Glory and their other game War of the Ring.

Attilio

**itchy** · 10-30-2011 14:11

(nice pics thought!)

**alpine** · 10-30-2011 17:03

Holy cow! I'm gonna have to open a separate WGF bank account.

**john snelling** · 10-30-2011 18:18

Good recon. You should get a medal. I'm getting restless, waiting.

**Dwarflord22** · 10-30-2011 18:35

Awesome pictures and information...thank you

**Dwarflord22** · 10-30-2011 18:46

Could someone post what plane types are in the first picture for those of us who are not WWI airplane buffs

G'day Michael!

The first Allied planes are Morane "Bullets", then a row of Fokker Eindekkers. The next row is a mixed bag of Aircraft, a DH-2 at the far left hand end, then a French Spad X111, Fok Triplane & an early war Halberstadt D11.
In the last row is another DH-2, an Albatross, captured Camel in German markings & another Halberstadt D11.

**alpine** · 10-30-2011 21:19

So what's with the big explosion of these new models? Are these the Series 5 planes that they are releasing along with Series 1 repaints? (I'm speaking in WoW Series terms)

**CappyTom** · 10-31-2011 02:52

Sweet, are these the new releases to come?

Tom

**Boney10** · 10-31-2011 04:05

The Moraines, Eindekkers, DH2 & Halberstadt were release 5, the camels, DR1 & Spad are Series 1 reprints/repaints.
In Enrico's album there is another camel, Stackards RNAS9.

**Archidamus** · 10-31-2011 04:43

Excellent recon photos, Enrico - our intelligence wallahs say these are all previously unseen aircraft!

**bsmith13** · 10-31-2011 15:07

Outstanding recon! I'm putting you in for a medal.

**greenalfonzo** · 10-31-2011 18:05

Very nice! One halberstadt, one Dr.I. Suppose they are going ahead with the announced schemes. Can't wait to buy them all!

Thank you!

**Madboyo** · 10-31-2011 23:54

Great Recon mission! Cool. Need to be patient...... Want now.

**Oberst Hajj** · 11-01-2011 00:57

Nicely done on the spy photos! You guys are lucky to have the pre-release minis displayed at your local con.

**somaliavet** · 11-01-2011 05:55

Sigh, now it makes me even more anxious for releases! (Great job scouting though.)

**costampede** · 11-01-2011 09:02

Nice, now I cant wait for them to come out. :-(

**Naharaht** · 11-01-2011 09:02

Congratulations on the successful recon mission. I notice parts of a Mitchell bomber, a Curtiss P-40 Flying Tiger and a Kawasaki Hien in the third picture.

Were we really supposed to get a light blue Albatros? Os is that just Nexus's inability to paint something gray rearing its ugly head again?

**David Manley** · 11-01-2011 23:15

Curious as to why these are "stolen images" - surely Ares should be trumpeting these from the rooftops?

**Oberst Hajj** · 11-01-2011 23:31

I think he was just trying to put some fluff into his post.

**Oberst Hajj** · 11-02-2011 04:22

Anyone else notice that there is not a 2nd new paint job on a DR.I in those photos??

**bsmith13** · 11-02-2011 06:19

I wonder if it's the Field of View of the camera, as I can only see one SPAD as well, and a tiny bit of the landing gear of the RNAS Camel...

**Oberst Hajj** · 11-02-2011 06:35

Looking at the other photos in his album, I don't think that is the case. It could simply be that they did not have the other DR.I and Camel with them.

I did note that they show both new D.Va variants. von Hipple/Flasher is in the back row (which has the red trim around the tail).

**Oberst Hajj** · 11-02-2011 06:40

Looking closer at the RNAS 9 Camel, they seemed to have gone with a light blue then I have ever seen depicted on these planes. They used the same color as on the Kissenberth Camel... wonder if this was a trade off for cost/ease of production?

I noticed that as well Herr Oberst. When I looked at my 60 Squadron book I noticed that the blue was lighter than I remembered it, but nowhere as light as that. I wonder if it is just the influence of the ambient lighting when the photo was taken. We can but hope.
Rob.

**eriko76** · 11-02-2011 12:11

Good evening, officers,
given the many questions that appeared in the post, I think it's fair to give some explanation, a more detailed report would say .....
In my opinion models were displayed in a location not too good to be seen. Maybe in a small illuminated display could have been a better look.
The models shown were 10 WWII fighters bombers and three (1 and 2 He 111 Mitchell .. if I remember correctly) that those visible in the photos.
For WWI aircraft models were 1 DRI Spad 1, DV 2, 2 Camel
Eindekker 3, 2 DH-2, 3 Halberstadt, Gotha and 2 2 Caproni.
I tried to photograph all the models but I realize that the photos were not very good.
As for colors, I can confirm that it is light blue for all models (for two Camel and Albartos).
I hope I was a bit 'more accurate this time and have dissolved any doubt ...
At your disposal for any clarification .....
Now I greet you because I expect a good plate of fusilli with eggplant sauce, pumpkin and tomato and a sprinkling of Grana Padano cheese ....

Enrico

**FLt Brown** · 11-02-2011 12:44

These look great do we know if they will distributed through the EU in place of the USA for us colonial chaps? As I think everything came to the UK via the US last time??

Well done on the pick shame about the girl.

Give that man whatever he wants in the Officers'Mess. I will stand him a drink.

Enrico, before duty and after the pleasure (of food)!!!

It is not kind to wait for answers to Rob! You could at least invite us to dinner to talk about fusilli, pardon, Lucca Games miniatures.

Forgive him, Rob!

He's a young hungry wingmen

Attilio

**Oberst Hajj** · 11-02-2011 18:30

Enrico, thanks for the updated details.

Rob, as for the light blue on the RNAS 9 plane, at least it will be an easy repaint to fix.

Kevin, last we heard was yes, you will have either a direct UK or at least EU (Italian... I think Red Glove) distributor.

**AGamerToo** · 11-02-2011 23:58

Thanks for the recon

Has it come to this Herr Oberst. I have to pick up a brush and do a repaint!

Good news about the European Distributor. That should move things along a bit.
Rob.

**LingSter** · 11-03-2011 11:38

I think this tread should be in a different section of the fourms... BUT< I agree... great intel. However, you missed the secondard objective and that was of getting shots of the "guard on duty"....

**Oberst Hajj** · 11-04-2011 01:12

Something else I noticed (in similar photos posted elsewhere of this event). The Wings of Glory signs say available from January, but the War of the Rings sign says April 2012. WotR was said to be coming out this month.... I wonder if this is just a mistake on the signs or a change in the release schedule.
