hello, better late than never :-)

Hello et bonjour,

New pilot here :-) contacting you from the france, just outside of Niort.

guess what I got for christmas... yes you are correct in saying: chocolate, jafa cakes and socks (when did I get to that age!) ;-) But I also got Tripods and Triplanes. I am a very big fan of HG wells and have been making wood modles of WW1 planes for a cople of years now...

I had my first trial (solo) run and thought to myself that it would be a good idea to find a forum...

I'm quite surprised to see how long this game has been around.. Its a bit of a shame I have only just discovered it.

I'm quite a modle geek, especially when making gaming tables, over the last 30 years I have done a lot of 28mm (Gamesworkshop scale) so scaling down to 1/144 will be interesting (although at a first glance I'm not certain that the "decors" is at the same scale as the planes....)

chat soon

Welcome, Yann.
Looking forward to your AARs.

Welcome from sunny Australia. Our little group of 4 play regularly and Tripods hits the table reasonably frequently. Lots of fun but you need to watch the balance to have a good game.

Good to have you at the Drome Yann. Welcome to you from here in misty Notts.

If you have a look at the AARs for the games in the Solo Campaigns Forum you will find many ways of deciding on the scale for your table top games. I use three main scales, full size of 144, for landing grounds etc; where models will be actually taking off or landing. Something like 1: 400 scale for ground attack on ships, buildings etc, and the play mat scale for aerial combats.
I hope that gives you some food for thought.

Fly safe.
Rob.
