    Question How to get all decks?

    Hi everyone,

    I've started my adventure in WOW recently by buying FFTS at low price (7€).

    I love the game and I would like to expand my equipment to get all decks (actually i own E,F,G,H,Ix2) and gets some minis.
    I plan to use plastics/metal kits for miniatures because i like to build and paint my minis.

    So, there is my questioning.

    You, how do you expand your number of decks?

    Is Buying WOW:TDOWW2(30€- Decks A,B,C,D)+Boosters(L & J,K for 10 each) is a good option ?
    Will it be difficult for me to play with kits miniatures without having almost one WOG planes miniatures + cards for each plane model?
    Will I be obliged to buy miniatures with deck i miss (M,N,O,P,Q,R,XA,XB)?

    Thank you,
    api

    If you want to build your own models and can still get hold of the old Nexus products at a reasonable price then by all means snap them up if you can!
    They are now out of print and will just become rarer with time.
    Ares only now releases maneuver decks with the mini`s so for the new ones the only option is to by at least one model to get the deck.
    It is possible to a certain extent though to build some decks by removing or adding cards from a deck you may already have.

    First of all Api. welcome from the British Squadrons.
    What Robert has said is just about correct. Grab whatever you can and then copy the decks for your own use only.
    Otherwise it is a very convoluted road to get the decks without an aircraft.

    Im totally new here on this forum, and trying to "up my sortie count"... so unsure on how relevant my comment will be.

    Regardless of that, as I have quite a few non-standard issue models, I just colour copied the appropriate decks from my existing standard issue models and then cut them by hand. Not awesome, but not terrible either. Functional is the best way to describe them.

    By fluke, I also found some stand alone WoW decks from Amazon for the models that I did NOT have any decks for previously. ME109 B decks they were. But these type of decks are hard to find.

    Hope that helps.

    Welcome Api.
    What Rob and Robert wrote is the best way. Grab all the blisters/boosters you can. The decks there are becoming rare now. And in fact they are. They serve even for the airplanes that are not published as minis, like P-39 Bell.

    Card sets are available but are getting scarce.
    WWI
    Recon Patrol 1 x d, 1 x K maneuver deck
    Top Fighters 1 x L, 1 x M
    Dogfight 1 x N, 1 x O (corrected, thanks Chris!)
    Immelmann 2 x P, 1 x G
    Crossfire 1 x K, 2 x S
    Hit & Run 1 x B, 1 x Q

    Of course there are the WOW box sets too,
    Watch Your Back 1 x E, 1 x F, 1 x G, 1 x H and B damage deck
    Burning Drachens 1 x I, 1 x J, and A, C & D damage decks
    Flight of the Giants XA, XB, XC, XD, and B damage deck

    These packs come with many airplane cards used by these decks. Older sets won't have climb and dive cards but you can just make copies of a stall and straight and color it red.

    The Dogfight expansion pack contains 1 x N deck, 1 x O deck, and aircraft cards for the Se5a and Siemens Schuckert D.III (and D.IV).

    The "unofficial" Sopwith Dolphin also uses the N deck.

    Welcome to the support group, it is best to understand and confess with us that we have an addiction. It must be acknowledged and named and admitted. Then the fun can really begin. Some of us call it a hobby, our significant others will call it an obsession, I have become comfortable with naming the demon, "my therapy" . . . the elves that help me agree completely : )

    Let us know what you need some will share their occasional extra "precious!"

    No worries. Your post got me to wondering where those decks had gone...

    Thanks fellas. Signed up two months ago and already reported in to the Canadian Wing at that time. I'd post more... and sooner, but the reality is that I have nothing to add to a deep community such as this. In time perhaps.... sortie no. 3 now!

    David,
    I missed your initial post on the Roll Call. Sorry about that!

    A very belated welcome. Get in touch with Darell [Grumpybear], he's the Alberta Squadron Leader, and he can get you in touch with a few players in Calgary, if you haven't already done that.

    This is certainly a viable option, especially as decks and aircraft become increasingly rare.

    Welcome to the Aerodrome From Virginia! If you want WW2 cards do not forget the Fire From The Sky add on set. I play using 144 scale planes. I have never had a problem. The store has bases, if you build non official planes.

    Hi I recently acquired a bunch of planes that use I,J,K,L,M,N,O,and P decks. But I only have A,B,C,and D decks. Any suggestions on how to still use these planes?

    Isaac,
    For the M, N, O and P decks, I think the only thing you can do is buy the new planes that have these. There won't be any Nexus/Wings of War planes that had the "Fast" (large playing card size) decks. Unless, someone provides you with copies?

    PS: Ooops! Fast decks are: O, P, Q, R.

    Other decks:
    I deck: Stuka, Aichi Val or "Fire in the Sky" boxed set (Nexus cards) (very limited, Sugaroni Stuka is rare)
    J & K decks: "The Revolution in the Sky" booster expansion pack (Nexus cards)
    L deck: Gloster Gladiator or Fiat CR.42 (Ares Minis, Available)
    M deck: Beaufighter (Ares Minis, Available)
    N deck: Bf110 (Ares Minis, Available)

    Oops on my part as well! I just realized that this is a WW2 thread. I am having the same issue, but it's with the WW1 game. (although I do love WW2)

    Well, it was hijacked by the WWI crowd before you got here. So, no foul.

    There are boxed sets of WWI (Nexus) cards around, and booster packs. I have a few D,K packs at cost, I'm trying to unload (Link: Booster Packs for Sale. And if you get Italian or French versions of the game, the decks are all uni-lingual. So, you might be able to get them for cheap, and get the rules from Fantasy Flight's Wings of War download site.

    Welcome to the Aerodrome, Api and David, from here near Norwich in the United Kingdom. I do not know what else I can add to what the others have said except that there have been very rare occasions when people have sold decks on eBay without planes.
