A few weeks ago I ordered two starter sets for Axis & Allies: Angels 20, and picked them up as they arrived this Sunday. The following is the unboxing and overview of the content of a single such box (both boxes I got are identical). First thing worth mentioning is the price, it is slightly more expensive than the X-wing starter set from Fantasy Flight Games. As such it is very interesting to see what you get for your money. As you can see the box contains 5 fighters and 1 bomber, so 6 airplanes in total. These come pre-painted and are hard plastic and very durable. There is no risk of breaking them and they are a LOT more child/young gamer friendly than the tiny and fragile X-wing ships. The pre-painted paintjob is "OK". It's certainly better on some planes than on others simply because of how the game differentiates between different pilots/pilot skills using different paintjobs (which is a bit of a weird way of doing things). Of the 6 planes you get in the box I think all but the dark grey ME-109 are alright, the dark grey ME-109 looks as if it unpainted when looked at from afar and you need to get close to see the difference in color tone between the wind screen and the color used for the upper fuselage. Check out the full unboxing overview and more info about the contents over at my blog: link

The "Bomber" you mention is actually a Bf-110. Long range two seat fighter used by the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain period. |

Plenty of common aircraft can be picked up cheaply on ebay as well; the uncommon planes cost more (Very nice job on your blog). |
