Are you planning on creating any custom accessories like you have done for WoG and BSG ?
Cool, extra damage decks.
BTW, the MkIII is mislabeled with the MkI verbiage.
Thanks, I'll get that corrected.Quote:

Huh? Really is that true?Quote:

Those Additional Damage Decks and WW2 counters are described as compatible with the existing games but does that mean they can really be used in normal Wings of Glory games because the damage decks for attacking Tripods given out in the 'print yourself' demo game had some different 'special damage' symbols printed on some of the cards relating to special damage to Tripods and did not display all of the 'special damage' symbols used in normal air to air combat?
I did that comparison with my play-test version, and I think the damage distribution for the A, B, C, and D decks is the same or close enough. The special damage is a bit different in placement/relationship to the damage numbers, but not significant. The special damage for Tripods can be ignored without effect in Wings games.Quote:

The Tripods & Triplanes A deck does not have Left and right rudder jam, crew wounded and smoke damage cards and the engine damage symbol ought to be moved to a different card to make it identical with the normal A damage deck.
So, we'll have to see what they put out. I went back and looked at my play-test decks, and there is only Martian damage on the A, B, C, and D decks that I have. Gun jams remain for planes, which doesn't apply to Martians.Quote:

We also will probably see Tripod damage on the Tripod damage decks, if Ares is planning on allowing Tripod vs Tripod combat. That wasn't anything in either my play-test set, nor the Print&Play. Stand by for a surprise?
I personally would be glad to have a "second" deck of cards that had the special damages on different valued cards that I could mix with a normal WGF deck. That would make the damage decks more variable. I might even consider sleeving my cards just to make that possible.
I suppose that they could print two special damage symbols on some cards, one for use in plane versus plane combat and one for plane versus Martian combat. Then on the Martian combat decks there could be Martian versus plane symbol and a Martian versus Martian symbol.
Thats strange. I thought the air portion was to be exactly the same as WoG?Quote:

I was referring to the A damage deck issued in the 'print it yourself' sample pack. The decks issued with the actual game may be different but we will not know until they arrive.
