    Default Newbie question - WWII Wings of Glory versus Wings of War

    Hi,

    I've been playing the WWI game for a while and recently bought the Ares WWII rules pack, along with a Spitfire, an FW190 and an He 111. Looking for more planes, I went on eBay and picked up a Mk1 Spitfire, a Bader Hurricane and a Ju87. But, these earlier planes ha ve smaller movement cards, akin to those for the WW1 game. Did they change the cards when the game switched publishers, or are they in some way compatible (slower planes?). Or, as I suspect, have I spent money on planes I can't use? Any help appeciated.

    The Maneuver cards for Fw190, P-51 and Spitfire Mk IX are bigger than the other in order to represent the higher speed of those A/C.

    The A/C from the previous version of "Wings of War" are fully compatible with the new one's.

    I had wondered that (hence my comment about slower planes) but thanks very much for letting me know. :-)

    Best,
    Mike

    Yes, WWII faster planes get larger cards. I wonder how large the card will be for a ME 262?
