Hello
Any news about future plans releases. Desperately want to see Camels, Se5a, DH2 and EIII back. Also Pups? Rather had Pups than Snipes.
Thanks

Hello
Any news about future plans releases. Desperately want to see Camels, Se5a, DH2 and EIII back. Also Pups? Rather had Pups than Snipes.

Camels will be coming out sometime in the next several months as part of the T&T releases. The SE5a is supposed to be in the next reprinted Series, but there has been no word on when that will be.
Camels are allegedly in March, along with Fokker Triplanes, Spad XIII, and Albatros D.Va, but Ares has been rather vague on the whole committing to a date, so who knows. The SE5a is “second quarter” 2019, but again, kinda vague on whether the T&T delays have affected that release. The Pup has been discussed as part of the next new wave (as opposed to reprint), but remains unknown to the best of my knowledge. E.III and DH.2 are somewhere in the reprint future, but I suspect not 2019.
According to Ares Distributors Newsletter for January, here are the releases for the first quarter of the year at we care about:
Feb
T&T starter set
March
BSG Spaceship packs
BSG Control panel packs
T&T MK.I Locust Tripod Pac (possibly the MK.II Scarab as well, but it is not really clear on this one).
So, there is no mention of the Series one planes as of yet for March.
Are the planes included with the tripods and triplanes set going to be released separately?
Is there going to be a full set of 12 Series 1 models in March or just the four models announced with the Kickstarter for Tripods & Triplanes?
What about some new planes?
So far they have only sent out release notices on the T&T starter set and one (maybe two) of the tripods. No word yet on when the planes are coming out. They did day back in December of 2017 that the KS stuff will all come out together, but the retail versions may be releases over several months. One thing to note is that initially Navarre's Ni 16 is only going to be in the Starter set. It might be released separately later on, but it is not set in stone.Quote:

I've actually not heard what the next new release will contain. I personally think they are starting to run out of commercially viable WWI aircraft to release.Quote:

I gave up waiting for Ares and got the BE.2c and FE.2b from Shapeways, and two pups from a forum member. Not saying I wouldn't want more, though ...Quote:

Fe2b, Be2c, Fe8, Vickers Gunbus (was that the Fe2b?), Pup, Sopwith Scout, DFW (the German 2 seater) those are the ones I want to see and should sell.
Then I'd like them to do famous Scout/fighter Squadron Sets. Maybe 6 planes from a squadron. I'd LOVE that as it adds a realistic element to the game
Anyway thanks all for the info!
Where can I find info on T&T.
I hope we get to review it at AWNT
:D Hi Jason! The Vickers Gunbus was a FB-5.Quote:

Great work! Thanks for intel. Forgot!!
Want Gunbus to recreate some fights from Derek Robinson's amazing book series!
Okay, I got some new Intel from Ares. Here are the Series 1 reprints that are due out sometime around the T&T releases:
SPAD XIII
Rickenbaker
Fonck
Chavannes
Sopwith Camels
Barker
Kissenberth
Macklaren
Albatros D.V
Udet
Weber
MvR
Fokker DR.I
MvR (modified to historical coloring)
Kempf
Baumer
With Navarre's Ni 16 coming in the starter set, that also means that they are using the mold from the Balloon Buster set (only the planes) and that is where we also see Albert Ball's Ni 16 (with rockets).
Series 4 reprint is the next in line due out in May or sometime shortly after.

And sadly, nothing about WGS series 7 :hmm:
Haha, I think I'm the only one in the opposite boat. I have a self imposed limit of how many planes I want due to storage. It isn't a bad thing since I haven't played all of the planes I have now. Really the only planes I'm missing are the Series 4 planes. The ones from T&T will be used for a backup supply/replacements. Great game I just don't get it to the table often enough.
Love that Gunbus Shadowcat!
Thanks for the info everyone!
Spoke to Ares I will be reviewing T&T over at A Wargamers Needful Things!
I want Weber and Udet Dv5a! Also couple of those Camels not the German one though.
Not sure what set I will get to review so prob get nice planes in that.
When review published will link you to it! End of Feb they said.
Gully raker love your Gunbus planes too! Great work!
I was cheeky and asked to review The Second Invasion/Wave T&T set as that seems to give the fullest experience of the game.
Fingers crossed. Though happy with anything.
Side note we also plan to review Battlestar Galactica and Sword & Sorcery.
