Series 3 Miniatures

Good point! I suppose they put the red stars there for easy identification in game, but it's very non-historical :-D

**Albert Ross** · 07-28-2011 23:15

Looks like Nexus goofed again - like the sky blue Pfalz DIII's and the back-to-front struts on the Albatross....

I think so! It's not fair only Axis can use dive bombers... How Allied Forces can replay Midway? ;-)

**alpine** · 07-29-2011 08:34

P-47'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I realize that you can't please everyone but, who ever decides which planes are to be put in a series must be a relative of the owners, and should be let go.
Just my opinion.

Check back to post 146. Email him and see how much shipping would be? I'm just curious. They are really cool looking planes.

Any confirmed release date on these? Spoke to a vendor today who is expecting them this month. Another vendor is taking preorders.

**Doug** · 08-05-2011 03:14

I have been told by my vendor that we should get them in Brisbane (Australia) in September.

**LewdDude** · 08-16-2011 06:12

anyone have an inside track on when cool stuff inc will be getting series 3? I preordered in July, and most places don't charge til they ship, but they charged me in full in July! lol it's ok, just wondering if there was a more sepcific date than "as soon as possible"? I emailed them as well, but you guys seem to know more sooner! ;-)

S~!

You should expect a refund from them. With Nexus going under, there is no release date or any way of knowing if they will ever show up at all.

wow, you were right! I called them and they refunded the order...

So now what???

**afilter** · 08-16-2011 08:22

My supplier was informed that they were produced, but still in containers in China. I was hopeful that they had been sold and shipped so they could still hit the market despite Nexus demise.

**Jager** · 08-19-2011 14:37

More delay news: my I stopped by my LFGS today, and when we looked online, Alliance had taken the series 3 minis off the pre-order page; the sku numbers are no longer valid (forgot to have him check Rain of Destruction).

this is all so very frustrating...

not just nexus, but it has been sooooooooo long over due for most of the mini's sitting in some crate on a dock as well as all the ones that should already be done!!! so many key aircraft have not even been put on the drafting table. I mean if we had taken this long to make the REAL aircraft we would all speak German!

You mean the world woud Speak japanese! If i go over the Models the germans have only 2. even the french have more Models to chose from.

Even when you play with the cards there is some strange things.

It will be intresting to see what Angilo and the new owners cook up for us, not that I am expecting any thing soon. But I am betting we will see WW2 Series 3 before Christmas 2011 if they are already made. Its a question of giving Angilo time to get things organised.

What new Owners? Did i missed some thing?

**flyingryno** · 08-20-2011 19:51

Why pre-Pearl Harbor? Where's the Hellcat? I love the P-40's, I look at my Avatar. But I need the hellcat, Corsair, P-38, P-61, etc.

Patients Weedhopper.

**Firebrand** · 08-21-2011 00:53

Talking about pre-Pearl Harbor... The Hawasaki Ki-100 made its first flight 1 February 1945. So... Why do japanese fighters have such timing advantage? I think Allies deserve a comparable "modern" fighter.

**Doug** · 08-21-2011 04:22

Hershall my mistake by new owners I meant the other wings of war game designers

With the european Theater is almost the same the as exemplam the Reggiane 2001 was only built 252 times. The french dewoitine over the Years 910 built, but france was beaten.

France lost against panzers, but was not over. After fighting Messers and Heinkels, they fought against British Fulmars, Catalinas and Hurricanes.
I'm very happy D520 is there, I think she could be a great fighter if France was not defeated. Even so, she made it rather well in Mediterranean Theatre, and in Italian, Bulgarian and Luftwaffe service.

**jhary** · 08-21-2011 09:14

It was a great fighter and i´m wondering why the "Mainforces" are so restricted.

I think it has to do with aircraft speed. The maneuver cards we have are already almost maxed out when it comes to speed (there's not much room on a standard size card for longer arrows for higher speed aircraft). Even the later war Italian and Japanese fighters were built more for maneuverability than speed, though, so they can be accommodated by the decks we've already got.

**Diamondback** · 08-21-2011 09:47

The 100 is basically an improved Ki-61, so it may be seeing the earlier model's availability taken into account too.

Thinking like that, we can play with the Spitfire MkIX, an improved Spitfire ;-)

Just another example of the somewhat bizarre choices made by the developers - the same folks who gave us the Sopwith Snipe for WWI!!
