Core set seems good value?

Much different to Wings of War?

Not personally. But heard good things from a variety of gaming mates

Tim, I think you are a bit of a slut.

You can download the rules for free from the Warlord website. Looks good but I'm too wrapped up in Test of Honour at the moment.

Ah, now you mention it I remember doing that. I don't think I was all that gripped. Might need to see a game in situ.

It looks interesting and is much cheaper than Wings of Glory!

I've been looking for a decent WW2 fighter game for years. The first game I ever played at a wargames club was WW" aerial using the Newbury rules and many aircraft of the era were still being flown when my father was in the RAF, so I have an emotional pull :)

Bag the Hun is seeing a bit of a resurgence recently and sounds like lot of fun

That welsh girl who flies on a broomstick swears by CY6, but when I asked why wouldn't share her insights with me.

I have that somewhere and forgotten about it!
What aircraft models are best now? I've got a box of old style H&R somewhere plus some excellent models by 'Airpower' which I don't think air available anymore but they're all buried deep in the garage since the move :(

I think the Meeples and Minis guys have been using 1/600 tumbling dice. They did a good review recently - episode 247
