    Is this set discontinued? Does Ares plan on future production?

    According to Ares it's getting a reprint March 2021, though dates are not always/ever reliable.

    Hello All. Does the BoB starter set contain all the WW11 rules or is there a WW11 RAP like WW1?

  6. #6

    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.

    The wallet is permanently now in ICU, the Missus will never know the extent of the fleet size.

    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 think the opposite - it's a dead end.
    Once you've played it twice or thrice, there's nothing left to hold interest.

    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.
