OK -- I picked up a bunch of Wings of Glory stuff at a wargames show, and its not a system or period I know much about. If I want to play a 4 player game (2 players as side), should I have one or two planes a player. How big a mat should I use? If I want historically accurate and somewhat fair duels, what are a pair of evenly matched (and fun) planes to play with? Are there any historical scenarios for WWI planes anywhere? |

If I want to play a 4 player game (2 players as side), should I have one or two planes a player. How big a mat should I use? One plane per player is good, but as the basic system is so simple, a player should eb able to manage two or even three planes if you wish. A 4ft square playing area should be fine. If I want historically accurate and somewhat fair duels, what are a pair of evenly matched (and fun) planes to play with? There is no such thing as a historically accurate and somewhat fair duel. Just pick opposing planes that were in service in the same year. |

The Osprey Aircraft of the Aces series of books provide endless combat reports that should inspire some scenarios. |

Evenly matched could be something like the S.E.5a vs. the Fokker D.VII, or the Fokker D.III vs. the Morane-Saulnier N. We use all the rules, usually have one player per plane, and will use three mats for 8-10 players. I would suggest going with one or two mats for four players, one plane each. Once you get through the basic rules I highly recommend adding in the standard and advanced…altitude makes a huge difference in the game. link |
