Wings of Glory WW2: WGS Blog.

From [I]Spifires to Solitaire [/I]...[I] Biplanes to Boom Cards:[/I] [B]This Is WGS [/B]:)

Picking out the highlights mostly of my Glory playing career as it develops from February 2015 to the Present Day. Playing WGS full-time but with a closet interest in WGF as played a few times this blog will feature[I] new developments ... new aircraft types ... banter[/I] ... [B]BoOm CaRdS![/B] You name it:[I] If it happens to a Glory player [/I]it will no doubt turn up here at some point!

As nothing ever completely smells of roses there will no doubt be the odd down-side to tell of now and again ... Having to miss games and events as I suffer from bipolar disorder and quite badly is my main concern: I was first diagnosed with this in 2003. Two events / arrangements have already [I]fallen foul [/I]of me being unwell during 2015.

Solitaire playing figures lots in my WGS playing career at the moment but when the Wife is able to she plays as well. I hope that what appears is entertaining and enjoyable unless I am unwell and have to miss out in which case I am just being honest about what is going on.

    [B]With the venture almost complete [/B](one aircraft to go) the [I]Wings of War dive bombers [/I]exploded their way into action today in a 2 hour 30 minute Solitaire extravaganza where they were opposed by some of the nastiest FLAK and AA guns I have used to defend a ground target so far. The scenario extended from yesterday's [B]Avro Vulcan B.2[/B] action which involved[I] XH560 [/I](which now thanks to Mike - OldGuy59 is now my custom avatar) being hit by ground fire and having to recover to ...

    [FONT=Fixedsys]DATE: 06SEP15 MSG READS: Vulcan crew at Boddington to get off the Aerodrome and get an early night ready for 07SEP15 Operation LAST TRAIN. The disused sweet factory on the Chesterfield Road is the mock target which the Vulcan must hit using a full complement of practice bombs. Judging by last efforts on O'Neills II live target this assignment should not be difficult but is still there to maintain a decent standard of combat readiness :MSG ENDS:[/FONT]

    As [B]Avro Vulcan ...

    If you listen carefully this blog entry makes an unusual sound ... [B]It emits a POWER HOWL![/B] This is because it documents the successful flight yesterday of what is believed to be the first WGS fully compatible [B]Avro Vulcan B.2[/B]. [I]XH560[/I] wearing 27 Squadron RAF colours first took to the skies of WGS on August 30th 2015 as a conventionally bombing [I]trophy[/I] aircraft. The product of two weeks of planning and sizing up using a diecast metal 1:200 Scale aircraft of this type and the ...

    [B]Somebody wake me up please ... [/B][I]I'm still dreaming that I won a Galland Edition Messerschmitt Bf.109E-3 playing a snooker match![/I] I definitely bought the other one from my opponent who lives locally to me and who I know from visiting my Friendly Local Gaming Store. This equally as collectable [I]Molders[/I] Edition [B]Messerschmitt Bf.109E-3[/B] cost me GBP £35.00 and I was keen on acquiring both of these for such reasonable prices. However it was all down to money and knowing that whichever ...
