Let´s hope soOriginally Posted by Canuck
Anyway only a few days off. Keep the faith.
One week to go and haven't done much for a while so I can afford them.... Will be disappointed if they are late.
Alliance Game Distributors' Midwest Warehouse (in Ft. Wayne, Indiana) lists them as in stock now (but they can't ship them until the release date - 5/7/2012) Some stores may have them on that date, but most will probably get them a day or two later.
god i hope so
Well see what happens with this issue. Wasn't delayed as long as the WWII planes.
May and June look like expensive months
Yeah, but its the good kind of expensive!May and June look like expensive months
Keeping my fingers crossed
Is there any date for UK yet??
Role on July August when they finally lumber their way down here.
Linz
Which year?
Better in August than never. Wings of War was too close to death last summer and I am really glad for every new expansion. And 2 or 3 month late is like nothing in boardgame bussines.
12-7-Games state 7of May as release date. I have got to admit with the way the dollar parity is I have given up on ordering in Australia, now order from the States
Hey guys,
I'm new to WoW/G. I just bought the WWII starter set, but the WWI stuff looks fun too. Is there going to be another WWI starter set to go along with the WWII one? The old starter sets are going for ridiculous amounts on ebay, but it seems the easiest way to get everything I need to play.
edit:
If I go to the page for those bomber special packs, it links to a starter set, but the link is dead and gives a 404 error.

Starter set will be available after June.
June, huh?
And will this pretty much replace the old WoW sets? So I shouldn't track down famous Aces and some minis from the old sets?
The accessories pack will compile all previous rules sets, not sure what rules the starter set will have in it (maybe someone who has the new WWII starter can tell us?) but Famous Aces is pretty much the "basic rules set", so I wouldn't worry about buying it.
It still might be worthwhile to pick up the minis (at a reasonable price, of course). There is no guarantee that a specific plane will be re-released, and who knows how long you'll have to wait for the release?
I have the WWII starter set and it seems to have the same rules as the old dawn of war or whatever it was called.
This was posted yesterday in the wow_nexus yahoo group list:

Just a heads up:
I just received a box from frpgames.com with my order of the Caproni and Gotha bombers.
------------------------------------------------------------
$27 at frpgames. Miniature Market will them at $22, though.
Why are the bombers so costly compared to the other minis? Is it just because of the size, or is this what we should expect from Ares? I like $7-14, not $22-$30.
Seems to be because of the size and associated production costs. For example, if we look at Miniature Market's pricing on the new wave of scouts, you'll see that they fall in line with what you'd expect:
For example, the Halberstadt D.III -> http://www.miniaturemarket.com/agswgf106a.html
Ah, thanks. I didn't even see the fighters on MM. They are listed if you use the dropdown and go to Wings of War, you have to actually search for Wings of Glory.
Six Gothas landed 6 minutes ago

Got my bombers today as well.Six Gothas landed 6 minutes ago

Still waiting for the package from 12-7
I rang Milsims today about preorders for the Series 5 aircraft and rules box, but they don't know when they will appear on the website or how much they will be. Happy for me to email and commit to an order thought :/
Dave
Same here.
My two Gothas landed with me in Sweden the day before yesterday
Bombers landed today. Milsims - no word.
Guys, sorry I have to vent a little. You still cannot get the Gothas and Capronis in Germany. You can get them in the US, in the UK, in France... Does anybody know what on earth is taking them so long? I've got a preorder going and would like to support shops in Germany that stock WoG, but this is getting tough.
Gotha or Caproni - what was your first aerial victory vs. the new Ares Games bombers? (8 Votes)
And this poll keeps mocking me.
How much is the preorder in Germany? Because in Poland you can get the bombers for 10 EUR. Ask Andrzej (Nightbomber).
Thanks a lot for the response; that is of course less than half the price in Germany. My post was really about the reason why Germany is so late in this matter. Does anybody have any idea?
I just checked the Polish shop and they more than tripled their prices for bombers.
Oops - I've preordered them for 26,70 Euro each (free shipping). Should be cheaper after all...
