What a coincidence. The crazy thing is, we live about 50 minutes from each other by car!

Originally, I wanted to do that -- and another game! However, both are still in process. It is best to not rush with game design or set arbitrary deadlines.

Welcome back buddy : ) Hey, hey a LIVE interview! well done, sir!

It's good! And I am nagging Thomas to make a new tank game 😆

Thank you, sir! And he really is begging me to make a tank game -- tanks don't fly, however, but I'll think about it... (Actually, there are two flying tanks I know of in history, both experiments that didn't get very far).

Fantastic intro, and a great interview. Looking forward to this…but in the meantime my wallet just took a hit from ordering Mag 23 and the upgrade kit.

I'm hoping to have this title done this month, but the fact is, I really don't know. When it is ready, it is ready; I won't rush it to print and then find myself correcting errors afterward. This play-through was done with the current draft of the rules and there's still more work to be done!

Thanks for the video. Look forward to some of the play.

Thanks! The first gameplay video is already live and another two or three are following that take you through the ground attack phases, etc., so look for that on this channel! Daniel does a great job editing the videos!

Getting ready to get Mag 23, really looking forward to it

Cheers Charles!

Heck yes!!! Being a commander of a Fighter Bomber Squadron of P-47's!! Love that! What caught my attention was the detail, including naming all of the pilots you will be sending into missions. I can seriously see the implications it will have on my stories I like writing. There's some weight to that, considering it's a real person that you hope gets to return home. Very cool!!

Yeah only problem was you got about 55 pilots to name, I only named 20 for the first Squadron, but my imagination ran out 😆 Luckily you're provided with the historical names so you can just use those!

MAG-23 and I use names of friend for pilots. It got difficult when more sqdns role in. It brings another level of realism to the game when your friends are in the fight and possibly getting injured or killed.

@HistoricWings

Thank you! For the pilots, you can use the historic names, which are included in the book, or make up your own, or do a mix of both! The idea behind all of my games is to highlight the narrative story and focus on the people who were involved -- the human cost of war matters a lot.

@@HistoricWings The human equation to the Commander's decisions. That's what I like to write about. If I am the commander and I'm putting together flights, it has to be difficult to order men you are actively serving with to battle. With pilots who have probably shared care packages with you, shared stories about home and shown pictures of their wives and loved ones back home. Then to find out some didn't make the flight home 😢. As a side exercise in writing, try writing that letter home saying how they died 'courageously in combat'. I'm a sucker for the human element. 😂
