Wings of War in Australia.

I saw a copy yesterday in the Tin Soldier, Kent St, Sydney. Retail $60 AUD. Very good price for a board game.

I was very impressed with the box art. Also looking at the back of the box and seeing the game art work I can say this is beautiful artwork. I would have bought it but for the fact I have no one to play against.

I would buy it also, but i have the same problem...no one to play with.
My friends are not interested in WW1 stuffs, my wife and my daughter too.
It would be a fine thing to create a net of WoW players around the world, for play online games by email or icq/messenger.
What do you think? It's a realizable thing?

That could be nice... But you should be so precise in placing the cards!

If you want to join the discussion group, you can look for enemies in the virtual and in the real world:

After all I don't find so hard to get new gamers. I played even with ladies and with 8 years old kids. They seem to like it...

Anyway, with Pier Giorgio we are testing solo scenarios of trench starfing and balloon busting. Better than nothing...

Bye and thanks,

Andrea

By the way, the artist is Vincenzo Auletta:

The landscape in the background of the cards is a drawing by Dario Calì ion recon photographs taken on the Italian front, 1915-1918.

Possible Opponent

Ross,

if you buy the game and want an opponent, then I would be very interested.

I live in Wentworthville but I am willing to travel any reasonable distance to play.

I also liked the look of the game last time I was in Tin Soldier.

I have a copy of Fight In The Skies, but again no-one to play with. We used to play Canvas Eagles at the Southern Battle Gamers, but that has lost out to Pirates at the moment...

Steve.

If I buy the game it wont be for at least a month or two. Christmas is fast comming and the kids are already putting in their orders.

No worries Ross, when you get it, get in touch with me.

Or, if you would like to play FITS instead, until you do.
