Thread: BE2C Movement Deck

  1. #1

    Default BE2C Movement Deck

    Hello Guys,
    Started to revamp my 1/144 aircraft and come across 3 off BE2C's. I would very much like to use these in a game. Can anyone tell me what stats would apply and what deck would be suitable for movement.
    Many thanks

    You'll want the XB deck from Flight of the Giants box set.
    10 hits, 8 ceiling and 6 climb.
    B rear gun, though I think some posts around here have the odd firing arcs for it.
    Check out the unofficial aircraft files:

    Some BE2c had rails so it could fire to either side of the prop. Here is a card for this set up. There should be a delay from firing from side to side as the MG had to be moved.

    See post below with the corrected XB to match the unofficial stats. (I'll leave this here if you want the XC instead)

    Is there a card like this, with the two rear arcs added as well?

    Ooooh, that's a bit...............well......................busy.

    I much prefer the cleaner style of the other, front-gun-only card - it just needs rear arcs as well (and a deck change!).
    I'll try to "convert" it when I get a moment.

    Thanks for posting the busy one, Peter.

    Yeah, busy to say the least. I haven't used this card so didn't really think about it. Easy enough to add in in the rear arcs on the 1st card.
    I put the arcs from just forward of the pilot's head, where the gun was.

    The comments said XB deck, the first card has XC, the second card has XB and the cards in the Wiki say XD. Lots of confusion.
    So how many books are in your personal library?

    That's fantastic, Peter!

    I can switch the Deck and Squadron details m'self - thanks SO much!

    Robert, the "Official" stats document states 'XB' deck; some decks do change from time to time, driven by the research of the awesome Stats Committee.
    I'll go with DB's choice - 'XB'

    Sorry. Yesterday was a tornado of activity and I didn't notice the card I had was not XB. A quick correction to make them agree with the unofficial stats...

    (I left the XC on the versions above for anyone that prefers them)

    Even better, Peter!

    I'll REP you when I can, but I need to "spread a little around first".

    Thanks Peter they are great, I've got a couple of cards for the BE2c already but now I have the full set.

    OK, my turn to request...

    Can anyone change the card to eliminate the skids?

    I have the 4-arc card for my quartet of BE2s, but they don't have the skids, and my attempts to change the picture have failed.

    These look great Peter, would you be able to do one with a full rear arc and the red dot over the gunner's position for me ?

    Is this dot over the gunner in addition to the 'Central' red dot? Maybe make it look a bit different so not to confuse them?

    I made the gunner dot smaller with a light blue edge. Does this work?
