You learn something new every day, didn't realise there was a FASA version. Thanks for covering my mistake. ;)
I have a wealth of useless information. Nothing useful like what most people on here post like things on uniform colors, units in which theater, etc.  ;D

And this whole thread has me thinking about a quick mod to use 45A characters with the Crimson Skies rules. Hmmm...
Don't think, DO! :D

I will try and find my original rules tonight and see what I can do. It will be quick and easy and will mostly deal with adding the pilot. I'll probably keep the rules for the planes the same.

Probably add a couple of new abilities.

Maybe the hot new air game Wings of War could put out a Crimson Skies version.  After all, the little prepainted plastic airplanes have already been  produced. :D

I was sent this by the Freewargamesrules (http://www.freewargamesrules.co.uk/index.php/Main/HomePage) site's RSS feed, which is incidentally run by a guy in my wargames club.

Might be of interest.

Id like a set of air rules for .45 Adventure. Crimson Skies was about what I had in mind untill I came across how hard it was for the average gamer, wings of war is more popular, and I guess easier. Anyway, Im watching this thread for info on air games ands .45A o_o

Aviation-related skills & archetypes for 45A! Yet another 45A book I'll buy as soon as the PDF is available - very cool.

On the Wings of War yahoo group, there is mention of "Porco Rosso" which I understand is a Post WW1 fictional air pirate game, perhaps try that? You need to join the group to read it, AFAIK.
Maybe the hot new air game Wings of War could put out a Crimson Skies version.  After all, the little prepainted plastic airplanes have already been  produced. :D

The pilots from wizkids Crimson Skies are too big for 28mm if I remember correctly. :(

The WK minis were not for use with the planes, there were 2 different games there. Air Action(planes) and Aces( Brawling, pulpy action heroes beating the bad guys to a (pun intended) pulp.  :D

I took some of the figs and modifies them into personalities who never came out e.g., I made a Maria Sanchez into a Black Swan, a Louis Thiebedaux, A Charlie Steele into a Ellen Sue "Tex" Ridder, a Genghis Kahn into a "Big" John Washington, etc. I made the whole Fortune Hunters squad, Next I'm gonna make th3e Medusas

But on the side, removed from the game itself, the fifs are terrible sculpts.
Quality has a quantity of its own

Haven't found it yet, but just remembered that the devastator started life as a corsair, flipped over, another wing added, scratch cockpit built, and the engine in the rear of course!
