I recently started purchasing Wings of War items, and saw the news about Fantasy Flight Games no longer distributing it for the US and the more recent news that NG International may be in trouble. I would like to purchase a few more items, while they are still available, just in case!

I recently purchased the following:
Box Sets:
Dawn of World War II
Fire From The Sky
Deluxe Edition - found one for normal retail price online yesterday due to ship on Tuesday :)

Airplanes Owned:
Supermarine Spitfire Mk. I - LeMesurier (Great Britain)
Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-3 - Molders (Germany)
Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-3 - Balthasar (Germany)
Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat - Galer (United States)
Grumman F4F-3 Martlett III - Black (Great Britain)
Mitsubishi A6M2 Reisen - Kaneko (Japan)
Mitsubishi A6M2 Reisen - Sakai (Japan)
Mitsubishi A6M2 Reisen - Shindo (Japan)
Hawker Hurricane Mk I - Bader (Great Britain)
Hawker Hurricane Mk I - Van den Hove (Belgium)
Dewoitine D520 - Thollon (France)
Dewoitine D520 - Stella (Italy)

Incoming Planes with Deluxe Edition:
Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I - Wright (Great Britain)
Grumman FM-1 Wildcat - Steiger (United States)
Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-3 - Pankratz (Germany)
Mitsubishi A6M2 Reisen - Fujita (Japan)

With both the three box sets and 16 planes, I will have enough boards, supplies, counters, etc. to field all 16 at one time (8 Ally and 8 Axis)!

I am happy with the figher planes and I have spent LOTS of money of Wings of War WWI and WWII items recently. Now the question is if I will spend even more money to get some bombers right now. If I buy any bombers, should I get a couple Stukas, Vals, one of each, or none at all.

Any advice wil be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Michael!

We patient members have been waiting for the Bomber Expansion set Rain of Destruction. It is already a year late and with all the news about Nexus in trouble it will not help things! Here are some links from the Aerodrome on AIM WW2 1:200 planes. If you are a modeler they come out great. I also included Kevin's photo album.

Oh-oh - that sounds like 'defeatist talk' and the MP's will be after you ;)

Yeah, that special kind of distilled water we make up here in the mountains ;)
