"The most complete aerial Game of the Spanish Civil War ever published" Can you prove that? Or is it just marketing hype? |

Welp. It's the only SCW airwar rule set I know of that's written by Spaniards. So it has the home field advantage. |

I saw a lot planes I never heard of that's for sure, but then my knowledge of planes in limited to the more common wwii models. By the way…why would anyone name a plan Junkers? Must have a different meaning in German. Kind of like the Indian manufacturer of cars, Tata Motors. If you sold a Tata car in the US, boy imagine the jokes. Oh well, I digress, my apologies. So Mcosta, when will you have the WWII planes and how does this compare to other WWII Air Combat rules such as Check Your Six! If someone is using a given rule set today, why would they be interested in this new set? |

@danlewistn
Professor Hugo Junkers? Ever heard of him?
And Combat Wings is available for free, I think that's a very good reason to give it a try even if one is already using another set of rules :-) |

No, never heard of Hugo Junkers. |

Professor Junkers was a German engineer, famous for developing the first all-metal aircraft. He`s the founder of Junkers Flugzeugwerke AG, producer of Luftwaffe planes like the Ju 87 Stuka and Ju 52 transpoprt plane. |

All free stuff is good. Except free headkicks. There is a Ton of work gone into these. So thank you for the time and effort. I still have some biplanes based up on hexes and will probably give these a crack. Reading through them on my first read, they could benefit from some examples of play. I'm sure when the models are on table it will be clearer , but examples are always good to clarify points. Thanks again |

I'm pleased to get these rules, because I've been looking for a set that cover 1930s aircraft well. It happens that all my models are for the Sino-Japanese War, including P-26s, I-153s, B-10s, Curtis Shrike and other exotics. I hope CapitanGames some day releases data sheets covering the Japanese and Chinese air forces. |

Thanks for all the comments, the rules has some special points to make it different from others like the use of Special monoeuvres an special abilities. A different plane data card for each aircraft. The movement system (allows to move with and without hexes), and the use of the power and other parameters of each plane to make the planes "flight" with the special "taste" of each one. What i can say is that we have investigated for some years for these rules and the result is 90 different planes only for the Spanish Civil War, many modern, and many obsolete that was the spanish war in our skies. About next releases, we are preparing a pack of scenarios based in authentic and reported combats. About more planes, we are open to suggestions….. WWII Mediterranean, Pacific, europe, Soviets….. please let us know what you prefer. |

In replay to Mike Snorbens, as far as we know this is the only game with a total of 90 DIFFERENT PLANES to play, that flight in the Spanish Civil War, i think that this is no a marketing hype. You would like or not the rules but complete they are. |

Very impressive graphics. I can tell a lot of research has gone into these. Great stuff

Thanks for your comment, yes we have researched a lot to have accurate details, including some interviews with existing pilots of the war. |
