Well I've been playing with the same 2 guys for the last 4 months and I finally won a game last night! I'm loving the mechanics and the history of the game. I have a couple of questions, is there a bomber expansion and are there any missions or models representing ground targets? I play flames of war a lot and would love to integrate the rules into a campaign. Also if anyone is in the Orlando Fl area we would love to play with more people and really try to get some more experience. Thanks for the info everyone!

Well done Jon, the wins should start coming easier now :)

No official bomber rules but if you rummage through the files section you'll find some to tide you over, they're supposed to be out "soon". There're ground targets in DoW but more so in Fire from the Skies, no minis though. IIRC FoW is 1/144, DoW is 1/200?

cheers,

Dave.

Congratulations Jon on your success! Soon you'll be the Terror of the Skies.

I hope they do a bomber expansion soon! I've been drifting through the forums and think I might try some 144th scale games since I can use my FoW planes. I played a FoW game last night and man I was hurting for some better aircraft rules, my P40's got chewed up by my opponents 88s, wish I could have at least tried to maneuver or increase speed or something.

Jon!

Congratulations on you first win!:clap:

Yes there is a bomber expansion coming out!:brickwal: See link below. If you go to my photo section you will see albums from my past conventions. I use 144 scale planes and have a large collection of bombers! i am going to Richmond, Va to run a game we will be flying bombers!

James!

Thank you, it but they are to long. Even using the I card Max suggested they out ran the fighters! I have redone them so they are the same length as the standard card! I am running a game tomorrow and going try them out!

congratulations, you are to be commended for your persistence. Just remember Rome was not built in a day. I readily play Memori44 and WOW with my son-in-law as well as other games we play with the whole family. I very seldom win. I think my ratings is at about 30 per cent. But I enjoy the games.
Keep it up and have fun

Tom!

My own DOW record around 20%! I have had planes turned into flying scrap yards, i have had planes take the boom card! I have
the misfortune of flying in front of a P-40 and a P-39 in a KI-43 twice in one game, not a fond memory. But they were all fun!

Im going to have to get some of those bomber kits, I've been planing a terrain piece around a downed bomber and haven't found any good kits till now. We've been working on a 8x4 Normandy beach front board and some downed planes will be the cherry on the sundae. As for being caught between the P-40 and the p-39, I've caught that program, not a fun place to be!

Jon!

You play Flames of WAR so you already have 144 scale planes! Will you stick to that scale? I saw this listing yesterday on E Bay see link! That is a four for on price!
