Thread: Third "of Glory game" on Kickstarter soon

    Default Third "of Glory game" on Kickstarter soon

    Five days ago, on Easter day, a breaking new. The site was down, so here it is for you with some delay.

    Spaceballs of Glory on Kickstarter soon!

    I am proud to announce that Metro-Goldwin-Meyer finally licensed us rights to publish Spaceballs of Glory, an official game in the bestselling "of Glory" line of lines. Co-designed with Andrea Mainini, the game will feature famed starships as Eagle V and Spaceballs I from the 1987 Spaceballs movie, plus further elements from Spaceball: the Animated Series and from the two unreleased sequels of the movie, Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money and Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2.
    Pre-assembled, pre-painted miniatures will be released, even if the exact scale of the models has still to be chosen. "Spaceballs of Glory will be launched on Kickstarter at ludicrous speed", told me Roberto Di Meglio from Ares Games.
    An interesting feature is that the game will be 100% compatible with any Yoda-style-numbered episode of any space saga you like. You will be then able to play with any Lettered-Wing spacecraft and scarce-aim bad-guy-manned interceptor that Matchbox, Hot Wheels and Revell abundantly produce in such a suitable scale. You will be able to refight epic movie scenes with the friends-and-family oriented, fully scalable up to 100 players with no downtime, buy as less as you want and enjoy the game for years anyway style of playing that already made Wings of Glory and Sails of Glory so successful.
    Here a shot of a playtesting session with my handmade prototype. I will discuss the game with the public in a conference about Sci-Fi and games at Deepcon in Fiuggi, Italy, on April 19th. A game session will be held at Prague Con, the European meeting of Wings of Glory and Sails of Glory players, on April 21st. Stay tuned!

    Hopefully, 5 days ago, it was the first of April.
    Otherwise, It would have been really provocative from Ares at a time Wings of Glory gamers are waiting for the WW2 medium bombers, WW1 balloons, WW1 SE5a/PfalzD.III serie, WW1 Campaign & Scenarios set ... (and Tripods)

    Seriously, all those are well ahead in progress. Together with Camel/Dr.I/D.Va/Spad XIII repaints and the Nieuport 16 reprint. So now you need some more announcement fo wait for something more when all those will have been released.

    Thanks for the update. I was hoping to have this for Historicon in July but I'll be very happy whenever it is released.

    I saw this announced on April 1st and thought it was a joke.
    But, since you put it on here now, I guess it wasn't a joke.
    Since we like the movie I will probably back this version to some extent.

    I was worried about the site being down for so long. Whatever happened?

    Still hoping for mid July T and T release. I do a 2 week dark ages war in Pennsylvania every year in late July/ early August for 2 weeks. Hmm the wife trips back and forth to watch the cats though. I also know of one other board member who tends to go also.

    I just sold all my X-wing stuff for lack of use. This does look tempting though. I am not at all excited about any Nieuport re-prints though. I already have too many and most are still un-played in the original box.

    Ok, that was an April Fool. You can use your X-Wing minis on Wings of Glory bases with Wings of Glory rules, here the tutorial on how to fit them with a toothpick:

    Or you can choose Battlestar Galactica - Starship Battles instead. This is NOT a joke:

    The whole thread and excitement was a fake news?

    Spaceballs? Yes. We call them "Pesce d'Aprile" - April Fool is an April Fish in Italy.

    The true one is Battlestar Galactica - Starship Battles, announced one week later. Just to be sure not to confuse it with a joke, better to discusse it in this separate thread:
