I am a complete beginner to air battle games. I've never played X-wing or any other games like it.
Wings of Glory WW 2 caught my attention recently. A few questions.
1. I am looking at Wings of Glory: WW2 Battle of Britain.
It has all I need to star playing. However, in my research about the game, Blood Red Skies appeared on the radar. I looked at the play through video and it seems to me that BRS is more complicated than WoG and is also full of dice. Would you recommend WoG over BRS if I will be playing primarily with my six-year-old son?
2. I am most interested in the eastern front.
The game is sold out in Canada and it looks like Miniature Market is the only place where I can get the game with a reasonable shipping price.
I looked at the soviet aircraft and they have:
- Yakovlev Yak-1 (Litvjak)
- Yakovlev Yak-1 (Luganskij)
I got excited and look at the senior book:
Allied Player(s): Two Yakovlev Yak–1. Each pilot gets two ace skills of his choice.
Axis Player (automatic): Two Heinkel He.111 H (Luftwaffe)
When I checked, Heinkel He.111 H is sold out everywhere.
Q: Will I be able to play any good scenarios with Yak planes without the bombers?
Q: Can I use a different bomber (swap/substitute)? Which one?
Q: From the comments that I have read, people say that 1 vs 1 dog fight can get repetitive and boring over time. It is best to do some bomber scenarios.
Which bomber do I need to get from what is available in stock?
The two websites that I am looking at are Atomic Empire and Miniaturemarket.
3. In addition to the "core set" are there any other planes worth picking up for a beginner?
Trying to place one order to minimize paying shipping again.
4. If I was to get a game mat, which one would you recommend?
Maybe I am asking too many questions and should just get the core set and maybe a mat. I just feel pressured by the idea that I might like the game and many things are out of stuck.
