Thread: Ares' distributor is closing due to the corona virus

    Default Ares' distributor is closing due to the corona virus

    I just received an email from Ares that says their main distributor, Alliance Gaming, is closing both of it's US base warehouses at the end of business today. Alliance is their main distributor and also feeds their European distributors. They do not know when they will reopen. This means that until this pandemic is over, what Wings products are in stock in the stores is all that we are going to get for the foreseeable future.

    . . . we are indeed a hearty lot of survivors as Churchill urges, "press on regardless" poor regardless.

Until the chute opens, if you want a new bomber pack, you best get on and get it from Keith, right away . . .

    The shut down is a great opportunity to dip your toes into Solo Gaming.

    We survived the collapse of Nexus, we'll survive this as long as the core team at Ares stay together.

    What, you don't have your backup supply of Shapeways for situations like this? Ah Grasshopper, when will you learn.

    Got about 5 shapeways left, 2 Alb fighters , Halb CV, DFW CV, and LVG CV. Also have 4 AIM aircraft left Defiant, Betty, 2 ME 262's. And 2 commissions on the table right now....Wait, also 19 Black seas ships all need to be rigged and sailed and still need to paint 3 SoL 3's and 5 SoL 1's. Should keep me busy a few weeks.

    My supply is about 300 Shapeways, maybe 100 Aim. I'm quite comfortable in this area. Now to live long enough to paint them.

    Plenty of aircraft to paint up. No worries until the stores open again.

    I'm fairly certain I don't want to count my unpainted SW and AiM planes
