Up until now I have restricted myself to WWI WoW for a couple of reasons - I think the planes are more interesting and the history of early flight is a fascination for me, and looking after the bank balance. For WoW any plane I could get was cool and I'd figure out how to make scenarios with them later.
I recently picked up Bader's Hurricane from an LGS on a whim and I have decided I'd quite like to explore DoW from a more focused point of view (somehow resisting my collector OCD which may well kick in later but not at the moment!). I have always had an interest in the Battle of Britain because a relative of mine flew in it and because the planes are fairly iconic. I have never had much interest in the pacific theatre of war or other aspects of the conflict in Europe.
I don't know all that much about the BoB and have done some reading recently to see what I could learn. I am keen to get minis and play some small WWII battles but I don't want to do repaints. The minis available that are relevant to the BoB seem to be the Hurricane, Spitfire, Me109 and Stuka.
Two questions:
(1) Of the available miniatures for those four planes, which pilots/paint jobs would be BoB specific or relevant?
(2) Which boxed set(s) would I need to play them?
Cheers
Ian
