Welcome to the 'drome by the way.

ohh the temptation
welcome Ed. Dive in and enjoy
Thanks for the heads-up
Hello All. Does the BoB starter set contain all the WW11 rules or is there a WW11 RAP like WW1?
The BoB rules cover everything. There is a WW2 RAP (probably still available in places?) in a blue box like the WWI in red, no planes included.
The one notable change I noticed in the BoB set compared to the blue box is you are now eliminated if set on fire and you already have a straight plotted.
The BoB rules are the latest version of the WWII game. There are a few small additions, and some tweeks, and update corrections/clarifications, if I recall correctly.
So, although I have a box of Nexus Wings of War 'Dawn of War', and a copy of the Ares Wings of Glory WWII RAP, I bought the BoB set for the planes, but especially for the latest version of the rules.

The self same reason that I did Mike.
Also some of the squadron packs to get the extra bits and bobs of information, or so I told myself, and anyway you can never have too many aircraft.

thanks for the info people. And so the temptation grows
Always wondered why there was no WWI Battle of Britain 1917 released. They could have put a Gotha in there and a comic or two. Give it a decent box and it would have been quite a hit I am thinking.
I now have a big shed. Careful monitoring of the postman and the phrase "What, these old planes, games, boxes. I've had them for ages"
Welcome to the Aerodrome, Ed, from over here in the United Kingdom. There is much on this site to add to your enjoyment of the game, so please explore it. The Files section has many interesting things in it. You will find the members here are very friendly and helpful, so feel free to ask any more questions about the game, which you may have.
just to let yo all know - I gave into temptation
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Miniature Market: 5 in stock. Looks on Ares upcoming - nothing through the end of this year noted. If you want one, I’d grab one now while it is still there.
Welcome Ed - Enjoy and best of luck with getting hold of the BoB set, Squadron packs and all
