I have to check my T&T order so i can place an order in the store. Its been so long I forget what lever I backed on Kickstarter!
It seems like the Nieuport 16 will only be available in T&T starter set....rather like the ones in Balloon Busters. Does that make the aliens something akin to balloons with a sting?
I’ve been on a splurge of painting Spanish Napoleonic figures which was caused by Amazon making an offer I couldn’t refuse - all 7 volumes of Oman’s Peninsular war as e-books for $20 CA. Now I’m into a friendly speed painting contest with someone from down under. Here’s a pic of my most recent.

I promise no more out of period / genre pics. Besides I’m keen to have a go at painting some WWI planes.
Hmmm...
I have an Invasion and a Second Invasion pledge. And, I already have four Dr.1s and even more Camels. Almost all the Kickstarter planes will be going into the convention prize bin for give-aways.
I have two balloons, but would really like another for those barrage scenarios. Perhaps a few more for double-sided scenarios. Not a few thousand, though.
I have that those too but they're the older Minifigs and these are AB miniatures. Anyway you can see my attraction to painting WWI aircraft - love the colours.
Btw - I did enjoy your DYM: Coming and Going scenario. I did it twice - with it set in 1917 on the Italian-Austrian front. The first time I didn't read the scenario carefully enough and had an escort for the bomber. However, that was the more interesting game (at least for Part 1 - not so much part 2 as both intercepting scouts were shot down in part 1) so that's what I'm intending to write up and post on the general AAR forum.
My Spanish Army is Minifig. (mounted for Napoleon's battles) I still have hundreds to paint!
Glad you had fun with the DYM scenario. Looking forward to your AAR.
All of the OTT scenarios can usually be adapted for different front or periods of the war. There are loads to pick from. I missed the first OTT campaigns and hope to play them out someday.
I just checked my T&T pledge so now I can put in an order for the reprints of series 1 I won't be getting with it.
Well my AAR won’t be as elaborate as the ones I’ve seen on the campaign forum. You guys go all out! I’m intending to do the AAR as a letter home...thinking that’s somewhat original then I see it’s been done and in German too. Oh well, I’m sticking to my plan.
I didn’t get involved soon enough to be part of the Kickstarter but I’ve ordered all 12 reprints as none of these aircraft were available and they’re all good ones to have. I will order the T&T as well as I want the N16 and aliens make a good scenario in lieu of balloons.:p

On another thread there has been discussion about the Nieuport 16s and whether they will just be available in T&T sets.
Having looked at the Airplane Packs pages for WGF both the Navarre Nieuport 16 and one for Albert Ball are listed. From my reading that suggests they will be separate airplane packs and not just in T&T. There is an asterisked comment that says Navarre would only be in T&T not in an airplane pack but if that's the case why list it under airplane packs? As far as Ball goes it seems it will definitely be an airplane pack.
No details of when though. But once T&T is released surely would follow shortly?

Does anyone know anywhere in UK that will have the reprints such as barker ect I checked gamesquest and no mention of new releases or pre orders.
Thanks
Just got back from a visit to ARES website and found that the noted release date of "April 2019" for Series 1 Reprint shows on their calendar as May.
Additionally, the next WGF release (Series 4) is noted in their press release as available in 2nd Quarter...but does not show up on their "Upcoming Releases" through the end of July????
Finally, from their description of T&T et al the Nieuport 16's are listed as Navarre in T&T only, with Ball's 16 (with rockets) standing as an individual plane pack.
Either way, still don't find any news about the balloons!
Bummer! Wait a minute, didn't I say that on the other side of the record?
Forget the balloons, any word on Series 10?
Not likely on a Series 1 reprint thread . . .
T&T and Series 1 are listed as May and Series 4 in June per their Sells Sheets sent to retailers.
Thank you for confirming these, Keith.
Just pre-ordered a Baumer triplane from Aerodrome Accessories. Looking forward to having a new Dr. I-they are often popular when I bring Wings of Glory to play at family gatherings, so it's good to have one more in a cool new color scheme.
Just slid in a couple orders, one for the coming in "April 2019" :D and another for stuff coming in "July 2019" :D :D :D
I'm really stoked to see the new stuff! I need another SPAD like I need another hole in the head, but man, that spiderweb scheme was too cool to resist.
The official US release date of the reprint of first serie is June 20th.

Thank you for this news, Monse.
Good to know Monse.
Thanks. At least we are in an approximate time frame for release, and as I'm buying from Keith, I can now calculate a date around which they should touch down in Blighty.
Rob.
Either Ares imported Series One ahead of their delivery of T&T, or it was imported with T&T, in which case, it won’t make it to Ares, much less the shelves, until the 29th. Which they may well have done - especially if it wasn’t all going to fit into one container. In any case, i’ve pretty much decided that I’m going to save my money for the series 5 release, and pick up the series 1 when finances and opportunity permits. I want six of them, but since I already have at least four of each Camel, Triplane, XIII and DV.A, they are not a priority for me.
What we really need is them on the shelves in game stores with rule sets and mats so we can get the game re-booted. Most of us have boxes of minis in our homes but that does not feed the interest and growth of the game and its eventual expansions we have been longing for. I hope they have more in the pipeline than a few planes . . . . our local game store (Imperial Outpost - the best game store I have ever been too for the past 10 years!) has a WWI and WWII rule set and a WWII Battle of Britain starter and that is ALL . . . not much incentive . . .
I would not presume to say otherwise - but if they arrived on the same boat together, any separation between them arriving on shelves is artificial (not to say I disapprove of getting my copy of T&T before the stores have them available). But more of what I was getting at is to make the published date of the 20th, it needed to arrive earlier on a separate container. Ultimately, it is neither here nor there to me, since I probably won’t be buying Series 1 reprints until Labor Day (accumulated Strategicon “Dealer Dollars”), I’d just like to see it sooner for everyone else.
I do not believe they are arriving on the same boat. Ares has releases for other games just about every month, so they have plenty of shipments coming in. I can confirm that Series 1 planes have in fact landed at the Ares warehouse. The 20th street date gives them time to process the new products into inventory and then get retail orders sorted and shipped.
