    Question Where to buy miniatures in Belgium?

    Hello everyone!

    I picked up the Battle of Britain starter set, must have been lucky cause the first online webshop that I checked had it in stock.
    I played it a few times with my kids and we absolutely love it! I want to expand now, so we can play with bombers and squadrons, but turns out I can't find any online store that sells these
    Only option I found so far is ordering from aresgames itself, but they charge a whopping 50$ shipping costs! And it's not clear where it will ship from, if I will need to pay import taxes as well.
    Any tips on finding additional miniatures? I'm not so concerned with the types of planes, doesn't need to be realistic, we can always play around with the skills cards etc to keep the balance.

    Oh ja, ik woon rond Antwerpen

    Greets, Nico

    Hello Nico,
    Some trusted stores in France that may ship to Belgium :

    ASYNCRON (the french editor of Wings of Glory, only 5€ shipping to Belgium with Mondial Relay, interesting pack for WW2 bombers)
    https://boutique.asyncron.fr/32-wings-of-glory

    PHILIBERT
    https://www.philibertnet.com/fr/rech...submit_search=

    MAXIREVES (a good deal for their last miniatures)
    https://www.maxireves.fr/selection-j...le-dangleterre

    You can find a list of these stores and more on Le Cirque Volant forum in this thread :

    Thank you Simon!
    Do you know if the cards are localized in French? That's usually my worry when ordering from France.

    No, the cards are not in french for the Airplane Packs, Squadron Packs, Bomber Packs.

    Only the set WOG La Bataille d’Angleterre is a full french version.

    If you order from Asyncron the WW2 bombers Dornier and Junkers, you can precise that you don’t need the cards in french version added in Print and Play.

    Thanks! I also ordered the blitz pack, 4 bombers, from Asyncron.
    Now I have 4 fighters on each side, and 4 bombers (which I can use on any side, my kids don't care about realism).

    Cool.
    You can use the black Dornier Do.17 Z-10 as a fighter thanks to its heavy frontal armament.
    Historically, it is a heavy fighter.

    I have no plans, just to have a bunch of planes on the table. Like I said, realism is not my driver.
    I think I have now:
    * 4 spitfires
    * 4 messerschmits
    * 1 makajima
    * 1 yokosuka
    * 2 beaufighters
    * 2 thunderbolts
    * 2 dorniers
    * 2 junkers
    That will be plenty to last me a lifetime with this game, enough possibilities.
    Now I can spend again on my warhammer addiction
