I prefer the older ones. That said there's no real need to use a console anyway. We usually just use a handy clear spot on the margins of the table.
I have a lot of WoW consoles and prefer to use those, the new WoG consoles seem to be a bit flimsy.
I use a home made card version and marker pen. However I'm in the process of making a more durable one.
I also prefer the old WoW version of the games console , but I'm thinking of making my own version of the games console.
I do prefer the old ones as they make it easy to "pick up and move around" if you have to. Not a huge deal though. I do lile the looks of the Aerodrome ones, so I may invest or make something smiliar (just because I like making stuff ;) )
:thumbsup: I have both Keith's Deluxe Cockpit which is just the best & a couple of the cheaper Rotary Cockpits which are also good.:D
I prefer the old WoW Card ones to the new WoG but then I have never used the new ones so should not comment on them.:)
I use the AA Deluxe console
I use the WOW consoles...because I've got a lot of them and didn't get the WOG (yet)...
I use WOW mostly when I need to travel. At home I use AA deluxe.
I use my plastic Consoles made by the Oberst at home, but take my Wings of War ones when I go away.
I have never used the Wings of Glory ones although I have two sets.

I only have the old WoW consoles. But produced a paper, laminated, one with marker pen that included ammo, fuel and pilot wounds. Height was managed by a plastic page marker with 1,000 feet on one side,100,s feet on the other. Climb rates were from historical data with dive rates both ideas from VRW boardgame.
I would use the new ones, if they were made of thicker grade cardstock, that doesn't flop around.
Like what the tokens/chits are made of would be ok.
I suppose its too late for items already printed.
But for those who don't have wow cards, you could glue them onto mounting card and cut them out.
I did post a home made one in a thread called 'next missions'. WGF campaign discussions > over the trenches > next missions.
I'm sure someone could refine it to look the part.
I prefer the older WoW consoles. However, the AA Deluxe one look very cool. Plan to get some soon.
I use the old WOW consoles. They are more re burst and easier to use.

Try this on for size. Right click & save as... it's all yours to do with as you wish. Before colour printing, do a rough copy in b&w to check sizes etc.
It was meant for scenarios, as a throw away... so whether you 'card-back' it or print to paper is up to you.
Hopefully, it won't get me into trouble. :confused:

Oh, and if you like it or found it useful... please click the little green thumb icon, at the bottom of my post and leave a comment. ;)
Rep points coming your way Hayden I like what you've done there mate.
I prefer the originals, and I always cringe when someone says, "oh, I don't need a control board." Why? More than once I've seen +1s accidentally get mixed in with the entire stack of damage.
:thumbsup:Nice board, and as you say very useful as a throw away or even as a reminder of your game for the archives.
Rob.
Thanks Rob. Glad to be of service. If it gets used by one forum member, it was worth my time :salute:
seems like the originals are most used! If money were no object I think I would go with the plastic version here on the site. But hard to throw out hundreds of dollars to have enough of them...
Thats a great item Hayden thanks , glad to see I'm not the only one not to like the WOG console.
I do find it telling, & a bit saddening, that out of 28 respondents thus far, not ONE has voted for the WoG consoles. It was a nice gesture of them to include a console. They could have saved a couple of bucks and done without. But I'd really liked to have seen them include a little sturdier, well designed one, than one that it seems that nobody wants. :(
Maybe the peeps using the WoW consoles don't own the WoG one ?! I don't !! ;)
Well this should at the very least be of use to those at ares no?
I use the old Wings of War consoles because I have ALOT of them - 16 WGF and more than 20 WGS. The new consoles are flimsy but do look OK, I would laminate them before use.
Personally, (not having a winge) I took one look at them and thought... no.
I'm going to 'pimp' one up, because I paid for it and I want it to function :)
I like the look of them too, they just need modding. Here's how...

I prefer the new ones, they take up less space, and the cards can't slip off the board
Bit late to this one, but I can't stand the WOG ones. I've got 8 of them, an luckily I won't need to use them again, as I've just got hold of FA, BD and another copy of WYB. :)
Yeah, I've got about 20 of them laying around if anyone needs them... the old Wings of War ones that is.
The Wings of Glory consoles are my/our standard gaming console at the moment.
I've got two rotary cockpits, but the space on our basement gaming table is rare and spy activity increases too much. :slysmile:
I would love to design a simple console that would double up for WGF/WGS and be cockpit shaped, I have on paper but putting an idea into practice....may take some time.
I use laminated "homemade" consoles which I acquired as part of an ebay joblot of WGF - they are similar to the Wings of War consoles, but being laminated paper they are much lighter in weight, and ideal for carrying to events.
I like the AA Official Wings of Glory Rotary Cockpits. The cockpits are nice as if I need to move around the table some I can just pick up everything at once.

I also like that they can be broken down and reassembled If I ever want to transport my game.
