You bought it, do what you want with it 🙂

However I’d be careful about making too many changes, particularly going to 5s & 6s. Get Air Strike – there are much more specific rules for attacking surface targets in there

There are a couple of suggestions I would make.

Firstly, your comment about speed seems to suggest you are trying to turn fight as the turning circle of a P51 will be wider than almost anything else as it has a higher minimum speed due to its high max speed. Solution, don’t turn fight, use energy. I’ll explain in a bit. The other issue with the…[Read more]

We switched to Open Play and have not looked back. The way to think about Ace Skills is just because one person is good at something and is in the same group as another talented person with a different skill, it doesn’t mean they are both good equally at the same things. In football Liverpool have Salah as a striker and Alisson in goal. Both are…[Read more]

No – Ace cards are specific to individual Aces. The retention test is per turn = these are Discards not Removes

Bombers are only available in scenarios that include them, tournaments wont use those scenarios

I was speaking to some Warlord guys over the weekend and they mentioned the first batch of Midway Starter Sets were now in Nottingham, so should be in peoples hands “soon”

The wording is “Both cards take effect – if applicable” – (Midway Pg 22) so you have to apply Great Dive.

Yes , but the stats are updated in this release to take account of the new “No Stall” Trait

I’ve not had a chance to compare the physical models however the A6M2 is a totally new sculpt  and it has different stats, including the new “No Stalling” trait. The main visual difference is the A6M2 has longer wings, and the A6M5 has three visible exhaust pipes each side at the edge of the engine cowling.

Sorry, I wont have a good word said about the Buffalo 🙂

Though this is probably a more reasonable and balanced view https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOLIVGvv6yY&t=526s

Yup – I think the issue is as much circumstances as a weakness in the Devastator – they did ok prior to Midway, and ANYTHING thrown in without escort would suffer, but the Devastator seems to have ben scapegoated a bit.

Hopefully the demand has been noted. I suppose the fact we have 4 options in your response shows that Warlord will struggle to keep everyone happy, but it certainly needs something

Hi Mike

Broadly agree – the aircraft in CS are a bit of a mess.

The rivet counter in me would point out Swede “claimed” three Zeroes, most recent assessments is he actually shot down none of them, and the ramming story is a pure fabrication (not his – just the “Yellow Press” as far as I can tell) .

The replacement of Swordfish Albacores on…[Read more]

That’s good. I’ve had a chance to read the starter rules and I am quite happy with them – blog post here  https://twtrb.blogspot.com/2020/04/naval-gazing-part-2-rules-first.html

but the TLDR version is “I think these will work and look fun”

In short, yes. There are plans to produce more twin engined bombers for BRS at some time in the future. I cant say what or when but certainly they are on the release plan, however Covid has wrecked that. Check out The Ready Room on Facebook for info on proxies if you cant wait
