I seem to remember a couple of games where I was in a blue Roland C-II two-seater running for the board edge with shattered struts, damaged ailerons and a dead rear-gunner. Not sure if that was at the club or at home. I had a copy of the rules and pin board sheets for the half-dozen planes I had so could have been either.


There were many many stories originating from the WW1 air games that we played, yours would be just one.

Great set of rules Jim, glad to hear they're still in use all these years on.


They were, and still are a great set of rules. Much effort was put into them.

I remember you and Iain working on a set of 6mm WW2 rules that worked really well and which we played at SESWC too.


'Race to Berlin' they were called. We never got them out of 'development' phase. I still have all the figures somewhere.

Sorry, used this term rather loosely to mean an embarrassing error!  :-[  :-[  Perhaps a solecism of my own?  The Soldier King is the description usually applied to Frederick's father, Frederick William 1st, not to Frederick 2nd himself.

Didn't they call the father the Sergeant King?

Sorry I've been out of circulation. When you're trying to sort out a visa application for Italy, you understand why so many foreigners prefer to raise an army and invade!

Painting plastic Airfix figures....


I still wake up screaming at the memory sometimes.

Oh a great game and brings back happy memories of weekend games at Uni :).

I still have 'Wooden Ships and Iron Men' somewhere and 'Von Richthofens War'.

Have not played either for some time
