Thread: B17 and B24 Movement Deck

  1. #1

    Default B17 and B24 Movement Deck

    I have searched and could not find a movement deck for both of these bombers. Can anyone point me in the correct direction where I can find this information?

    Not that they should do much of anything else

    Yes, straight until say 5 hours into mission turn left 20 degrees, over designated geographical point, then 3 hours to target, then go home... lots of dogfighting.... not.

    I have used the I deck for both the 17 and the 24! Ignore the steep maneuvers. They lumber along nicely! If you look at Max`s flies, he has created his own bomber movement deck! It is labeled AX deck, it makes the I deck look like Ludicrous SPEED!

    Since they don't turn how far do you move them? How far do they fly on the table. I've done WWI bombers long ways on the mats. edge (half stick to off the edge). 4-6 scouts trying to stop you.
    But Id really try to try WWII Bomber run.

    I have done 15 games using bombers, light, medium and heavy! I normally give the bombers three target to bomb, one is the real target and the other two decoys. The attackers plan the runs on the targets, sometimes they will fake the defenders as to the true target. I have the bombers start at least six firing sticks back from the nearest target. The defenders within two sticks of the targets! Yes they do turn, look at the attached photos!

    I was refering to the heavies not 25s or 26s. Rich

    Thanks for the info. I have a bunch of players that want to shoot and defend bombers. I now have insight on what to do next. BTW, I like the bomber cards under the stands to give aid for the bomber management. I will send pics once I run the matches.

    Here is a link to one way to make bomber bases (which richard m schwab sent to me). I modified the instructions so that I could incorporate the Wings of War flight pegs.

    The instructions worked well for me. I used plumbing tubing and a rubber grommet to connect the flight pegs to the base. Here is what the result looked like.
