  1. A visit to the highly controversial Yushukan military museum in Tokyo. https://tokyo-park.net/yushukan/ Japan of the first part of the 20th century, is depicted as trying to be the liberator from the occidental colonial powers in Asia which forced Japan into conflict by starving the country of oil and raw material resources. No mention of any war crimes in China, Korea and in Pacific against population and soldiers. Very odd feelings. A few nice displays : Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka Type 97 Chi-Ha medium tank Yokosuka D4Y Suisei Mitsubishi A6M Zero https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?36522-TOKYO-YUSHUKAN-MILITARY-MUSEUM

  2. At the ASYNCONV from July 5 to 9, 2023 in Tours (central France), a prototype of the Verdun carpet is to be presented, with new, unprecedented scenarios. ASYNCONV was born of a simple idea: to put play and exchange of playing and sharing, playing and meeting. History and strategy board games are often played in hours, and it's not always easy to find partners close to home. Inspired by American conventions, ASYNCONV offers a table reservation schedule that guarantees everyone to complete at least one game a day, i.e. 4 games over 4 days. "In the heart of Touraine, a region which, from the top of its castles, over a thousand years of history". The idea is also to offer a convention that can form part of a tourist itinerary. You can start with the ASYNCONV, then visit the banks of the Loire, the châteaux or the caves. Or vice versa... On the strength of the success of the first edition, with almost 50 games completed on titles such as Fire in the Lake, Successors or Wings of Glory (10-player game), with more than 20 different games played, but also thanks to a very pleasant atmosphere and an air-conditioned hall with carefully designed acoustics, we look forward to seeing you again from July 5 to 9, 2023 for a second edition! A success for the ASYNCONV 2023 edition. As for Wings of Glory, 14 players took part in one or more of the 7 games played around scenarios designed for the Verdun game mat, during the 4 days of the Convention (game reports in preparation). These players included at least 5 new members of Le Cirque Volant / WOG Aerodrome : Mc Kain, Transludiste, Blackjack / Dvorkin, Lafayette, Lleman A copy of the Verdun mat, measuring 2 meters by 68 cm, produced especially for the event on a thick plastic base (polypropylene, which rolls up nicely for storage). https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?36364-ASYNCONV-5-au-9-juillet-2023-Tours-(37)-central-France

  10. https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?36216-MULTI-ENGINE-AND-MACHINE-GUNS-RANGE&p=584307 the rear machine gun of the Handley-Page and the Gotha is not on the center point of the aircraft (blue point on the Aircraft card). It is located slightly forward of this center point and is a bit further of the rear edge of the base. The rear machine gun of the Zeppelin Staaken and the Caproni are placed on the center point of the plane (or just beside it for the two machine guns of the Staaken). In the case of the Gotha and the Handley-Page, be careful to place the ruler from the red dot of the rear machine gun and not from the center support. When attacking from the rear at a specific distance, this allows an attacking fighter to avoid the rear machine gun fire. HOW TO ATTACK A BOMBER ? The base of the bomber is wider than that of the fighter. By attacking the bomber from the side (or from one of its four corners), this allows the fighter to escape a long-range shot (or a short-range shot at a closer distance) from the bomber while still being able to hit it. But this configuration can only occur exceptionally and is played at less than a centimeter. The Caproni doesn’t have a rear blind spot. So, it wouldn’t have changed to attack the bomber from the same or lower altitude, as the Caproni arc of fire is the same at these altitudes. The rear MG fires 360° at targets at a higher altitude. A plane at a higher altitude in front of the bomber can be fired from both front and rear MG. It would be the only case of a penalty for the fighter to be at a higher altitude.

  25. Three minutes of an aerial fight lost in advance... A tiny detail during World War II... This is nothing more than a short but intense engagement between a Hungarian Me 210 Ca-1 fast bomber and nine Soviet Yak-9 fighters. This is not an adventure novel, but the true story of the author's grandfather, the one who gave him the desire to draw. A story based on the diary of captivity kept by this airman after the war. It is also the story of a plane already forgotten, produced in only a few copies. Personal opinion : This story has several interests. To discover a little-known front: the Russian offensive against Hungary, which had chosen the Nazi camp, just like Romania. The book features the Messerschmitt Me.210 CA-1, a version improved by the Hungarians of the Me.210 which suffered from numerous technical problems (later replaced by the Me.410 in the German air force). This story relates the mission in which the author's grandfather took part, which he reconstructed thanks to his grandfather's personal diary and detailed documentation. The intensity of the bombing is well rendered thanks to the framing and the realism of the drawing that plunges us into the heart of the action. However, the descriptive and technical aspects dominate this story and do not allow us to discover the protagonists and their personal motivations. https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?35659-WGSF-THE-OLD-TIGER

  26. Summary: Autumn 1944, somewhere on an advanced base in the Pacific, the daily life of a B25 crew, almost monotonous, punctuated by combat missions where only the competition of the number of victories brings a little spice, until the day when one of their bombs opens a breach on a Japanese ship and in their lives... A few months before the end of the war, Captain Edwart Baxter commands and watches over the crew of his B25. Divided between the desire to be the best of his squadron, the war that is ending but remains present and his thoughts for his wife, we follow the intimate moments of this crew where personal problems resurface and seem to relegate the war in second place, but the latter reserves them a backlash from which none will emerge unscathed ... https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?35641-WGS-comics-HELLSHIP

  31. I have practised a lot automatic movement for solo games since the pandemic situation and I have noticed that the automatic movement rules may contain an issue. (it is the same rule in the WOG WW1 2012 Rules & Accessories and WOW Flight of the Giants rulebooks) Multi-Engine Bombers : "For each multi-engine bomber randomly flown remove the following cards: the climb, the dive, one stall, one turn to the left and one turn to the right. ../.. Only the eight maneuver cards are used : 3 straights, 1 stall and 2 turns to each side. ../.. Each time time the discard pile contains 1 turn to the right and 1 turn to the left, shuffle them back to the maneuver deck with any straights and stall … ". The pictures below show Multiengines using different WW1 and WW2 maneuver decks : XA (Zeppelin Staaken), XB (Handley-Page O/400), XC (Felixstowe F2A), XD (Gotha G.V / Caproni Ca.3) XA (Heinkel 111), XB (B.25 Mitchell), XC (Boeing B.17), XD (Avro Lancaster), XE/XF (Junkers 88 A-1 / A-4), U/Y (Dornier 17 Z-2 / Z-10), I (Junkers 87 Stuka). Pretending the cards are randomly chosen but choosing them in the case the order or the maneuver cards make the plane exit the game surface : Even when starting in the middle of the length (49 cm from a side) of a playing mat (length 98 cm), each plane may leave the mat or be on the edge before shuffling back 1 turn to the right and 1 turn to the left. And for the Zeppelin and the Handley-Page, a new turn to the left (after the shuffling back) makes them exit the mat. Moreover, the game should be played in the length of the mat (enemy sides facing each other in the length of the mat). And the plane should start at the middle of the width of the mat (68/2 = 34 cm), so with more chances to leave the playing surface than on the pictures. Suggestion : now, I personally use only 1 turn to the right and 1 turn to the left and keep all the other maneuver cards in automatic mode and remove all other turns card. But I keep every sideslips if playing with 2 seaters. I shuffle all the cards when they are all played. Actually, in automatic mode, the Multiengine / two seaters mission is to cross the length of 1 or 2 mats, making small evasive maneuvers (designated by the 1 turn to the right and 1 turn to the left). https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?35458-AUTOMATIC-MOVEMENT-RULE-ISSUE https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?35459-AUTOMATIC-MOVEMENT-RULE-ISSUE

  32. It is to be noted that the German version has the same issue as the English version. “Bomben über Polen” means “Bomb over Poland”. Italian, French and Spanish versions seem to be accurate. https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?35218-Bomb-Poland!&p=569305&viewfull=1#post569305

  34. A rescue operation for the Fokker Dr.I and the Sopwith Camel of a friend who did not tolerate their storage without thermoforming in a Rules and Accessories box during a move. It looked very bad, especially for the Fokker whose wing struts had been torn off. But finally, thanks to a lot of tenacity, a few drops of glue and a pair of tweezers, the two planes were able to take off again. Despite some scars and shifts visible on the triplane. The wing struts are placed randomly, taking into account their orientation on an intact Fokker Dr.I figure. https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?35073-How-to-repair-a-miniature

  43. Presentation A black and white comic strip in 3 volumes published in the 70s and recently reissued. The adventures of a young pilot of the RFC during the 1st World War described in short stories of 6-8 pages sometimes funny but always richly documented. Historical but only German characters (Immelman, Boelke, Richthofen, the Konprinz), authentic technical discoveries (synchronized machine guns) and an impressive gallery of Allied and German aircraft: Farman Longhorn, RAF BE2 - RE8 - SE5a, Airco DH2 - DH4, Sopwith Triplane - Camel, Nieuport 17, Spad VII, Handley Page O/100. Albatros DI - DIII and DV, Fokker EIII and DrI, Gotha GIV, Roland two-seater, Zeppelin airships, observation balloon. Personal opinion These books are to be put between all the hands, even the youngest (the destructive effects of the war are visible but the dead are never represented), the situations being often funny with characters a little caricatural. The dramatic side of the cover scenes (especially that of the first volume) is the opposite of the content of the comic (which some may regret). Note that the Bristol F2b Fighter featured on the covers of volumes 1 and 3 does not appear in the stories. A curiosity: the Roland seems to be the only two-seater that the Germans have in the 3 volumes, even at the end of 1917 (either with the upper wing attached to the fuselage like the C.II that we know well in miniature, or as a classic C class biplane like the Albatros, DFW, Rumpler ...). https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?34692-WGSF-EAGLES-OVER-THE-WESTERN-FRONT

  49. Ciel de guerre Philippe Pinard et Olivier Dauger 978-2-88890-707-7 [U]Presentation[/U] The Battle of France, the debacle, Free France and the regular air force, from the German invasion of Alsace to North Africa, the war within the famous French fighter squadron "Les Diables Rouges", from the beginning of the conflict to the end of 1942. A great saga in 4 parts, which traces the history of French aviation during the Second World War. Four albums (which are also gathered in a single album) : 1. Les Diables rouges : the first days of the German offensive in may 1940 in France. 2. Cocardes en flammes : defeat of France in June 1940, the escape of some french squadrons to North Africa and the attack of french vessels by the English fleet in Mers el Kebir. 3. Alerte en Syrie : a difficult choice for french pilots : joining the Vichy government forces or the free french forces. 4 Opération Torch : in November 1942, the Vichy French squadrons are engaged against the allied embarked planes and support the fight until the cease-fire. [U]Personal opinion[/U] I find this story is great for a little-known episode; the Franco-British antagonism in North Africa and Syria against the background of Vichy France versus Gaullist France. Extremely well documented, the characters are far from caricatures in terms of their political motivations. A little negative remark about the face of secondary characters who sometimes look the same. But, this is a well written, well drawn, reliable and credible story, with great aerial scenes.
