    Well Done!
    I just wish they had not added the Rockets to Balls plane.

    However, this version of Ball’s Nieuport 16 with rockets is historically accurate as he shot down one balloon (and 5 planes) with its N.16.
    According to Ball’s victories list on The Aerodrome, he shot down the balloon flying the N.16 5173 and not the N.16 A134 like the Ares miniature and the Nieuport kit below.

    Accurate it may be but I'm with Baz, I'd rather have the one that shot down five scouts than one balloon. Still, that's why I have sharp blades !

    Didnt realise Ball’s N was on sale yet as it was a T&T stretch goal was it not?

    What great news for those just starting in the game! Scouts and two seaters available for the game. I think I started with 2D paper planes before progressing to balsa models.

    I just saw that they are out. My Ball is on the pre order for T&T so have to wait a few more days or weeks. But this is a good sign.

    I just got a notice from Keith that Aerodrome Accessories has shipped the planes I preordered. Can't wait to see them.


    Here's to them what are like us. Damn few and they're all dead.

    Got my planes today from Keith. (those not in the kickstarter anyway) I was slightly disappointed as they have no ace cards like the last release. Only slightly disappointed as getting any new planes is always a good thing!

    The Albert Ball mini did have a couple of ace cards-perfect Aim and a new one, Sneak Attack. See the thread I started here: https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/sh...-s-Nieuport-16

    Good to hear some new ace skills will come out. I won't get a good part of the plane set until T&T delivery.

    I just received my 5 planes from Keith today. They were Baumer's Dr.1(great looking plane),Kempf's Dr.1 which I already have but I like this plane, Von Richthofen's Albatros D.V, Maclaren's Camel and Chavannes Spad XIII.

    I have 4 more coming with the T & T Kickstarter which should be coming in a week or 2.

    Thanks Keith
