    Default A Message from Andrea

    Andrea sent this message out to members of he Yahoo Nexus group. My apologies if someone has already posted this elsewhere. It is more or less confirming what we already knew or suspected.

    Dear all,
    sorry for the recent spam in the mail. I blocked the offender.

    The game is going on and healthy. Last release have been a couple of bombers for players of the Battle of Britain set: Ju-88A (both in A-1 and A-4 subversions) and Dornier Do-17Z (Z-2 bomber version and Z-10 nightfighter version).
    Next ww2 releases will be Savoia Marchetti and S.79 and Blenheim. Pacific famed fighters will then follow, with time.

    For WW1, the quite recent reprint of old Wings of War Series 4 with the long awaited Se5a was warmly welcomed.

    Battlestar Galactica: Starship Battles is going pretty well. Gorgeous miniatures have been released for Viper Mk.VII, following Raptor and Heavy Raider that came last year. The old Cylon war minis will follow, for fans of the 1978 series and of the Razor movie.

    The reprint of the Sails of Glory basic set was sold out very quickly just before the lockdown, a new reprint will follow soon while we are testing new stuff.

    The lockdown changed plans for several releases, but stay tuned for news!

    All the best,

    Andrea

    Yes, thanks David. He seems happy with our games progress. Even though we would like to see things happen faster they are not giving up on us!

    Thanks David. Definitely nice to receive an insider's word that there are more WoG releases in the works.

    Perhaps it's on some kind of rolling rota - when you get something new, you go to the back of the queue?

    At least there was no "sorry, we're stopping now" message regarding WGF.

    Promising news! Thank you for posting this. Do you have a link to the Yahoo Nexus group? Yahoo groups have been disbanded but I know many of the groups migrated to groups.io and similar sites.

    It was Games.Groups.Yahoo.com/wow_nexus, but Verizon shutdown Yahoo Groups soon after they acquired Yahoo.
