Ahh Entebbe! Wonderful board and a very interesting looking game. Entebbe was the very first proper wargame I ever played back in 1989 at the tender age of fifteen. Put on by a local wargames club at an activities day at my school in Loughton (Essex) and though I failed miserably to rescue the hostages it gave me a glimpse of the fun wargaming could be and I have on and off (mostly on) been gaming collecting painting etc ever since so to see another Raid on Entebbe brings a warm glow of nostalgia.
Thanks!

Lovely stuff, wonderful figures and scenery.

What scale of figures have you used?

thebunkergames · « **Reply #5 on:** June 01, 2013, 09:05:06 PM »

Hi Rob
Figures, planes etc are 20mm-1/72
The buildings are the same scale apart from the control tower & terminal. These are 1/32nd Scalelectric with 20mm double doors replacing the single 1/32nd doors

Inspirational, and quite a coincidence - just yesterday, I rewatched the 1977 film starring Charles Bronson and Yaphet Kotto on the subject.

Also, it makes me rethink my decision not to get any large planes for my ImagiNations project for space reasons - those Hercs look great arrayed on the tarmac (I'll probably get something smaller, though - Dakota and maybe a Flying Boxcar).

Any chance to know who makes that 707? Is it the ancient Heller kit?

Absolutely brilliant! And the range of figures in the background is pretty impressive too!

Thanks chaps
I believe that the Air France plane is an old Heller kit
As for the range of figures Sardoo - that is just The Bunker!
