    There are none James, it's a copyright thing but some chap may be along and offer you a copy to print off.

    Ares posted a print and play D deck when they releases the Tripods game.

    It is the Tripods and Triplanes Print and Play Fokker Dr.I.

    Are we allowed to put this in the files?

    Note that there is a Forum modified D* deck for Sopwith Pups, exchanging one of the sharp right turns for a sharp left turn.

    Interesting!

    Here's to hoping it has 1 MG, and a Climb Rate of 4, so it's not too strong!

    Don't see why not, Dan, as Ares have put it out for public download. Surprised it's not in the files all ready !

    Fun fact about the D Deck—the WoW Sopwith Triplane used it.

    It works very well in practice & can give the Alb D.II/D.III the run around

    Except that was a fudge job to get another plane card in the mix, according to Andrea. When released as a mini by Ares it was uprated to the U deck - same moves but in the fast, not the average, speed band.

    That would be cool if we got a new Sopwith Triplane in the next Tripods/Triplanes release.

    FYI: Ebay has a "Wings Of Glory/Wings of War WWI ‘D’ Maneuver Deck Fokker Dr.I Sopwith Triplane" for $4.99 US. It would ship from Indiana, so maybe not so much use to players in the UK. Just figured I'd mention it. Search "Wings of Glory WWI."

    How can a series with Triplanes in the name never have any?!

    They must, to redeem themselves!

    Agreed, not sure there will be any more T&T releases.

    More triplanes with the release may have helped sales that is for sure!

    But is it any less likely than getting another Sopwith Triplane?

    Yep. Sadly T'n'T died soon after launch.
    Ares have Balloons in their WoG rules but in spite of years of waiting they have never released any yet. We've also been waiting for a rules & scenarios book for more years than I care to remember, though we always hear it's being released soon. Same with the next re-print - series 5 (the earlier stuff). If that's the case the Tripes came in series 6 so logic would dictate they'd be next in the reprint line. (Though they'd need a redesign to correct the wing layout if they wanted it to sell any, though I don't recall any corrections (that worked) in reprints so far).
