    Nice video.

    Thank you.

    The box is heavier because of the Ares Games catalouge inside.

    ...and maybe some additional pages in the rulebook.

    Are there any changes to damage counter distribution? Does the altitude matrix include all planes now like the PDF on the website? Any significant game changers from the rules and accessories pack?

    I think the Starter is the only thing I am going to pick up from this release. I hope that everything (except the rule book) is just duplicates of the components I already have so this can be kept separate as my demo box.

    I'm having my first game of it tonight so will see if I can figure out the changes then.

    Looks like I will have to check that museum out next time I am up in Victoria.


    I like the cloud map they are playing on - simple, yet very effective.

    Another very interesting video Phillip.
    The museum has some very interesting items by the look of it.

    Having managed to avoid the obvious temptation to buy this set I've just noticed that I have Christmas / Birthday (they are very close together) money in the form of Amazon Gift Cards so I've bitten the bullet and succumbed!
    What I still don't understand is that the cheapest one I could find, on Amazon, is coming from the good old US of A and with 'free postage and packing'.

    Today I received another "Battle of Britain Starter Set" from the Herr Oberst.

    Even taking into account P&P and Customs charges, it is still cheaper than a domestic purchase.

    Are the Spits and 109s different to the ones originally released for Wings of War?

    Same basic models but new decals. The Spits are for two individual 610 Squadron pilots and the `109`s two JG 2 aircraft.
    And the new individual packs continue the theme, allowing you to build up a formation of several aircraft from the same unit.

    So even that I already own all old Wings of War miniatures (four Spits and four 109s) I won't have double markings if buying the BoB box?

    My uncle gave me a similar letter opener (it may have been given to him by my father, I forget the story behind it). So Guadalcanal if my uncle, Australia/Phillipines for my father.

    Both my Grandads were in PNG region, one was an NCO at Kiriwina, the other who had this letter opener was a beaufort pilot, I assume at Port Moresby? I need to research where he was based one day

    Is the "Limited Ammo" card for the Bf109s included in this box? If yes is there something special for the Spitfires too?

    I'm curious about that, too. Maybe I should open my card packs from the BoB I just got this last weekend....

    ...and thar ya go!

    "Spluttering Engines" will fit to the Spitfires because it hat to roll on it's back to dive (if it does not the engine could cut out) while a Bf109 just could dive without rolling.
