Hi there
I am new to this forum but I have been lurking for a while. I would like to show You a full 3D WWI air combat game we are curruntly working on. The game is called In Clouds of Glory. Game rules are currently in Danish but we are slowly translating them to English as we finish them.
The rules are about middle difficulty - A small 4-5 plane game takes about 2 1/2 hour while a big 12 plane combat takes most of a day.
We are currently running a 23 mission campaign with 8 players - Each player running a half squadron of 8 planes and pilots. The campaign runs from January 1917 to November 1918 with new plane types getting intruduced and old ones phaes out as we go. We play one mission for each month in the period. And as we go pilots must learn to survive, get experience or get killed in the proces.
More on the game, rules, mission reports and lots of pics can be found in the main game entry on BoardGameGeek:
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/21706/in-clouds-of-gloryUntil now we have scratch build all models in styrene, 1/350 scale but 1/285 or 1/300 models (Navwar, Skytrex, Heroics and Ros) can be used as well. Note that there is full denotation of altitude - you slide the plane to the correct altitude and the planes can be turned full 360 degrees on their nose mounts.Flying stands are sharpened in one end and inserted directly into the foamboard terrain.
