Thread: Australian pilots/gunners/flight crew in Official Ares minis?

    Default Australian pilots/gunners/flight crew in Official Ares minis?

    Hey all, just wondering if anyone here has made a list of all the Aussies and New Zealanders represented by Ares minis? Not just pilots, but any crew who flew in the specific aircraft represented.

    I know the pilot of AJ-P Popsie the Dambuster Lancaster is an Aussie, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Brownlow_Martin

    I'm also aware Michael James Herrick of the green/brown camo Beaufighter is a New Zealander,

    But I'm not sure of any others. I'm thinking of increasing my orders for those releases and pushing them a bit harder at shops other than game stores.
    If anyone has any contacts at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, that's exactly where I want to put those lancs!! Plus the Moorabin Air Museum for the Beaufighters. Those with a bunch of starter sets could potentially bring many more players into the game.

    Cheers all

    I know they're Nexus, not Ares, but if you have any leftover Snipes both 'Baker' and 'Ryrie' are Aussies from 4 Squadron AFC
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!

    Don't know about any Aussie pilots, but have you considered the Point Cook RAAF base museum as a point of sale also?
