Great presentation. I've just to wait for it to reach France now. And then I'll go flying a FW-190 based at my birthtown of Vannes in France. Hell I used to live 10 kms from the base of Meucon in fact (yes it's still existing and active as a civilian one. It's also the home of an association rebuilding old aircraft)

Thanks. The game looks great, it's already on my wishlist. I own Nightfighter Ace, so this new title is a must have for me.

That looks really good

Looking forward to this system adapted to WW1. Western Front Ace.

western front ace is very fun. played a prototype at WBC. It's the one I'm most looking forward to.

Would like to see the same system with a Vietnam or Arab-Israeli Wars setting.

The game looks fine, but Compass Games needs to stop using thin counter cardboard the thickness of a print and play game. For the cost they should be delivering a much higher quality of materials.

If you want to see crap components at premium price look at Combat! also by Compass, flimsy counters and a map that looks like it's been drawn by a baboon, in crayon.

@@earlofdoncaster5018 Over $100 for that game, too. Compass seems way overpriced to me. I'd buy this game (or Night Fighter Ace) if the price wasn't so high. I'm a huge air wargame fan, too. I've got so much to play now anyway, I really should stop buying new games for a while.

Nightfighter Ace is one of my favorite solo games. I never appreciated the Bf 110 until playing the game nor the Mosquito or British bombers. I developed a high regard for little technology upgrades like better radar and such as well as how a game developer puts it all into a fun game.

@@earlofdoncaster5018 Really shame since its costs here in europe 150e including post, what is it like 165 dollars? This is way too much for that game and those components.

I love compass games but their expensive prize in europe compared to other game companies many times put me off. But i really love this system

Could have sworn the war didn't end in February 1944.

It didn't but the luftwaffe was so depleted the game basically ends.

Earl of Doncaster snarkiness loses a great amount of its effectiveness when it’s wasted on irrelevancy. Where was a claim made about the end date of the war? It’s completely appropriate for a designer to dictate the scope of his game.

@@earlofdoncaster5018 Agree it wasn't snarky. Lots of games only cover periods of the war. Look at Wing Leader Victories 1940-1942 box cover for example. Same standards used there.

This game looks too much like Nightfighter Ace. Think I will have to pass on it.
