    I also enjoy this game especially the flight school and personality chart. I hope Greg Smith includes it in his Western Front Ace.

    Good review. I purchased the game when it first came out but have only now started playing it. The errata changes aren't that important. I may make some changes myself. Maybe the A-Bomb attack will always fail. Tough luck, Adolph!

    The way i see this game design is to pick the a couple of different weapon systems (planes zeppelins Subs Tanks etc) and your favourite era and have say two games in your collection that way it will not feel stale when you play them

    Great way to look at it Chris. I love the system, but in my opinion, you really don't need to own every single one of these games. I'd go with the one(s) that cover the topics you are most interested in. Unfortunately for me, Greg Smith keeps putting out games covering topics I enjoy.

    Am likomg your review. Seems the game for me. It annoys me Smith's games have errata to that extent. I would be glad to wait for a reprint - how many years do ussually pass with Compass Games before that happens?

    Just depends on the game. Compass waits until a game sells out, then if they think it has more to sell, will reprint it with any errata fixed. I didn't have many problems playing the game due to any errata, but I do understand some people want as few mistakes as possible in their games.
