Thread: General overview of released minis - WWI

  1. #1

    Post General overview of released minis - WWI

    Wings of War / Glory was almost in clinical death in summer 2011, the name of the game changed and I think it is a good time to make a small overview. I prepared answers to some questions: What was released until now? Why the name was changed? How publishing of the game will continue?


    Are Wings of War and Wings of Glory same games?
    Yes, they are. Even there are two different names for this game, all components are fully compatible (but you still can not use WWI and WWII components together).


    Why there are two different names for one game?
    Game producer (Nexus Games International) completely ended releasing of the game and all other producing activity in summer 2011.
    Fortunately, the game designer (Andrea Angiolino) saved his copyright for game system of Wings of War and he started to resuscitate the game with new company - Ares Games. The only problem was, that Wings of War was copyrighted name of someone another and for this reason, Andrea changed the name to Wings of Glory. One of autor’s conditions was complete backward compatibility with Wings of War.


    What was released?
    I will write about it in more details in other post, but let's summarize basic types of components which were released until today. Some of them is imposible to to buy, some are OK (new series):

    How will the publishing of the game continue?
    • All new components will be released under trademark "Wings of Glory".
    • Publisher left the card game system – all released components will be for miniatures system.

    I will summarize each serie for easier orientation now. I apologize for the omission of card sets – there are too much plane types.
    For complete overview I recommended Wings of War / Glory section on Wings of War na BoardGameGeek.com.


    Great online database is on www.HoHo.cz.

    OK, I needed to start a new thread (there was no reserve for new series in the old one), so it looks like I am a terrible spammer.
    Sorry for it.

    Anyway, the thread is actual again, so you can feel free to use it or seek my mistakes or typos. There will be some, I am sure

    . I apologize for the omission of card sets – there are too much plane types.
    For complete overview I recommended Wings of War / Glory section on Wings of War na BoardGameGeek.com.
    The complete information on the card sets and all releases can be found at this site as well for WGF http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/dow...do=file&id=723 or WGS http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/dow...do=file&id=910

    Just noticed that the Ufag base depicted here is that for the Albatros. A photo with the correct base can be found in the Complete Listing file appendix for Nexus Series 3 if that photo will work. Props to OldGuy59 who got the correct photo to me back in 2013. If you need the original pix, just let me know and I'll figure out how to get it to you.

    I am sorry but I cannot do that for you with those photographs, Daniel, because I downloaded them off the internet. I would have to find my own models and photograph them myself.

    Thanks for that link to your Odds and Ends, Mike.
    Grabbed the Generic Airfield.

    Now I don't have to try to cover up the pre-printed plane on my AAR RTB pics.

    I used those two that you uploaded. If you will have time and could take better photos (in the same Nexus style), it would be great I have balloons in 248x230px, so at least 248px of width would be fine
