"an idea for the great mentor Andrea..."
"a special version of WWII miniatures including 1 F4-U corsair plus 1 torpedo launcher,rules for torpedoes and a US Navy templates.
a big new present christmas box!!!"
Are the weapon stats on the Yak cards printed incorrectly? They are AC at short range and C at long range.
OK, strighten me out on this. The Flying Tiger paint job lists it as "Tex" Hill of 2nd Pursuit. In my research, the 2nd Pursuit had a blue band not a red band (3rd pursuit) and Hill was assigned plane # 48. Since there were originally 99 P-40s (B/C) and this is a P-40E, how high did the numbers go? Osprey shows a plane with the number 106.
Cant wait to get those planes!!
The Yak-1 was armed with a 20mm canon and a 12.7mm MG. At close range, that would be one C for the 20mm and one A for the MG. To get the long range damage you halve the values. The C becomes a B and the A stays an A (the smallest amount of damage). An A and B damage is equivalent to a C, so that was used to lower the number damage chits needed in a game.
From what I can find, the 2nd did have a blue band as you say. Osprey shows this as Tex's plane:
when approximatly they hit the shops?
Great mix of miniatures for this release!
I'm looking forward to all of them, but I think the Yak-1 will have a special place in my collection.
Some time this year is all we have heard. Based on other releases, I would say around December or March of 2011
Thank you for this explanation but then why are the Dewoitine De 520 weapon statistics BC/B ?The Yak-1 was armed with a 20mm canon and a 12.7mm MG. At close range, that would be one C for the 20mm and one A for the MG. To get the long range damage you halve the values. The C becomes a B and the A stays an A (the smallest amount of damage). An A and B damage is equivalent to a C, so that was used to lower the number damage chits needed in a game.
The Dewoitine De 520 had:
Short range
1x 20mm = C
4x 7.5mm = B
Long range
1x 20mm = B
4x 7.5mm = A
Andrea says the B and C are of equivalent damage values, with the C having larger damage number and more zeros then the B. I can only assume that for this plane he decided that the C from the 20mm went down to an A (half of a B or C). The two As would have made a single B for long range. By having the flexibility of the C going to either an A or a B, he is able to fine tune things a little more to his liking. Again, these are just my thoughts.
ok any one know when we can play with a WW2 heavy bombers???
Officially, I don't think heavy bombers are going to come out. If you make the jump to 1/144 scale, you can play with them now. We are supposed to get tactical bombers for WWII some time late this year.
Oh, I wouldn't be so sure of that. You know what they say about "never say never!"
On the other hand, I'd agreed entirely that we will not see them anytime soon...
Well, since the WWII bomber expansion that is going to be released does not have them in it... I highly doubt they are going to make another expansion just to cover them. I could be wrong though.
While I certainly have no real knowledge of any official plans, I would think that after the boxed expansion is out, all you would need for the heavies would be a miniature box (like the balloons for WWI) that also had the aircraft card.
However, I don't yet have Flight of the Giants, so there could be holes in that theory that I can't see yet.
the 1/144 airplane are too much expansive and its not simple to find it in italy ill wait and hope for news!!
ok guys look at day 1 video of FFG at gencon 2010 you can see a sho of ww1 series4 and ww2 series 3
Right -- 0.7 seconds worth, around 1:20 into the video. What a tease.
Look at the beauties !!!
Serie 3 WoWar WW2
Sweet looking good. Can't wait for them.
Tom
I can't wait for series 3 myself. I've always liked the P-40 so I'm happy to see it made.
As for the Heavy Bombers....I think we will see them. I imagine at least one as a trial run anyways. In the Star Wars collectible minis game they made a scale AT-AT, and D&D collectible minis has made a number of scale Dragons, so I don't see how an Avro Lancaster is unlikely. Which BTW, I saw a restored Lancaster at a WWII airshow this past summer....very loud when it flies overhead.....but very cool as there are only 2 left that still fly.

Series 3 miniatures
Does anyone have any idea of a release date for the World War II Series 3 miniatures?
trumpetman52
Great models ...
... any rumors about a 4th series after bombers?
I'd like to see "Black sheeps" Corsair and last biplanes.
G.
Me Too.
Nice!
Amen to that brother.

Definitely 'The Last Biplanes' for me. That would be fantastic!
Previews of all 12 of them here:

Very nice indeed - must admit I'm particularly taken with the Reggiane - a beautiful plane that you seem to have gotten spot on....
will you ever make 1/200 WWII decals for these beauties Dom?
Very unlikely I'm afraid - the WW2 game's never really taken off in the UK (meaning they'd be unlikely to be viable from a sales viewpoint), and I have a hefty 1/600 WW2 collection myself, so there's no appeal as a "pet" project. With the WWI sheets I can live with the odd dismal failure on sales (hello Nieuports....) because they interest me enough to write it off as "hobby" time and live with it. For the WW2 ones I'm simply not that interested myself, so would need to be sure they'd actually sell, which I'm not, sorry....
Do we have a release date for the series 3 models?
If that means the P-38 is coming sooner than later I will be a happy boy.
Since there are no Luftwaffe planes coming out in series 3, I might be interested in starting a Soviet or Italian fighter group. Does anyone have the Yak-1 and Falco stats handy?
It looks like that P40 and Yak 1 will get me to try DoW.
What is more popular than the P40!!??!
So glad to see Eastern Front miniatures coming out as well.
I guess Pacific folks will be glad to see the Tony, though it isn't my thing really. The rest however! Yee-haw
I would really like to see the
Vought F4U and the Polish PZL 11 added.
No F4U until the high speed set.
The pacific theater is the only one getting consistent releases. With Series 3 we could play a limited campaign from 1940 through 1945.
Not going to happen as the P-38 would have to be in the High Speed set... not the multi-engine set.
Some more photos from Andrea.
GREAT models!!
I can't wait, is there any news about release date?
G.
I second that...I also really like the Reggiane Re.2001 CN Falco II
which Andrea posted a pic.
Updated photos in first post.
Pity no Australian P40's still it looks like the French model will be easist to repain in Australian markings. The Flying Tigers P40 looks great as well.
from ronald
I LIKE'EM can't whate to see them in rill life!!
Still no word on a US release date?
Here's a link I found, it might have already been posted but here it is again then. There is some nice photos.
http://www.gioconomicon.net/modules....ticle&sid=5620
And by the way, haven't seen any pre-orders yet
Tom
Neither have I. Shenanigans....
Anyone know any thing about a release date yet? I guess I'm getting hungry.
Tom,
I'm thinking not until March '11 based on previous posts...I like the Italian ones a lot...
Some new photos added to the first post!
