Does anyone have a firing arc diagram for the Handley Page Hampden? I'm having trouble finding out how far the ventral gun could depress. Thanks! |

Well, at least Red Alert does look like another good game from Richard Borg! I let a friend know about it, and he backed immediately. Hopefully, it will include a firing order diagram for the Hampden's ventral gun! ;) |

Looks like the same ship models for both sides just different colors. Lazy. |

Not lazy. Cheap. Injection molds cost a lot of money. |

Agreed, not lazy, a cost control measure for an untried game. Also, the background is a civil war. Supposedly, if this does well, there are plans for additional factions with different ship designs. |

The larger ships appear to be a good bit longer than the hexes. This could be a problem if a lot of ships are in play. |

Not sure how long the oxygen supply in a Hampden would last and is it up to a re-entry ? |
| Trierarch | 08 Jun 2018 12:07 a.m. PST |
I don't think the Hampden was able to reach orbit, so re-entry shouldn't be a problem. I've seen a comment suggesting max 45 degrees depression for the ventral gun, but looking at a lot of pics suggests maybe a bit more. Unfortunately nothing definitive. |

Red Alert: I chocked on the high entrance fee, but a friend was less timid, so looking forward to see how this shapes up! Hampden: I've never heard or seen this before; was there ever an issue of confusion with what look like, to these old eyes, similar German aircraft? Doug |
