    Default WGS Airplane Packs coming soon.

    Hello everybody.

    The first 8 airplane packs should be released in a very few weeks.

    Some historical notes about them are being released on the Ares site:

    Good to see a move is afoot at last. Mind you Ares must have got their finger out to have got this far so quickly.

    Good news for Christmas; however, I hope they change their sales methods for later releases. If they keep forcing retailers to buy 6 at a crack, I'll have to find other sources for buying, as I don't want to stick my FLGS owner with extra stock.

    The historical notes are a lot of fun to read. Thanks for posting the links.

    Has anyone noticed that the single plane releases for WGS have been pushed back 2 months? When first announced, Ares said they would be out in November. Andrea just posted they are only a few weeks out, but the Ares web site shows them as January releases.... not sure which is the most accurate

    As G.B. did not recognise the U.S.A. as a legit government at the time of the Revolution, would they have considered John Paul Jones as a pirate, or as a privateer?

    Most "more powerful" governments typically view non-legit fighting forces as illegal as they can. So probably a pirate.

    I didn't notice it until you pointed it out.

    Checked with my LFGS Monday; still not orderable yet from Alliance. Bit the tiger's tail, and ordered a 6 pack, so as not to leave him with the extras. I'll just have to re-paint the North African ones.

    He was, in fact, classed a "pirate" by the British: http://www.art.com/products/p1405518...paul-jones.htm .

    But then, piracy is like treason -- it only happens to Losers.

    Awwww, the history for the P40 is very good, but they don't credit 112 Squadron RAF with coming up with the sharkmouth design, latter copied by the Flying Tigers. Oh well

    I heard that for the first time about 30 years ago; it's been mercilessly filked in both my re-enactment groups, and certainly others.

    Maybe they will come out with a trucking game using 18-wheelers and cop cars...
    Here's the theme music for it...

    I had no idea we were so musical here. And I have no idea how we got to this very musical place from "WGS Airplane Packs coming soon."

    Has anyone ever heard of "Dos Gringos"?
