    Default Help needed: correct cards for B17's, B-25B and Lancaster MKIII?

    Hello so I have both B-17F, B-17G, the B-25B and a Lancaster B Mk.III

    The B25 has the wrong deck sadly (a He111 deck). The others appear to have the correct deck but I do not know the correct cards for the bombs/targets/AA. I'm guessing some/maybe all are missing although I do not know which. How important is this? I've not got around to playing anything other than what's in the Battle of Britain box.

    The only cards I can find are the ones below. Which aircraft do these go with please?

    All your ground / targets / troops / AA gun / bombs A-B-C cards shown on your pictures come from the Starter set Battle of Britain.
    (Checked in my own box set).

    Note : four engines B-17 and Lancaster bombers have double sided bomb cards with 3 bombs on a side and 6 bombs on the other side.
    The medium bomber (two engines) have 1 one bomb on a side and 3 bombs on the other side.

    Dave, if you don't mind printing your own I have the B-25's XB deck scanned. PM me your email and I can send it to you.

    Dave, just to confirm what others have said, your target and bomb cards don't matter much - you can store them with the planes or separate and use them as needed for scenarios/games.

    I'd view the wrong deck (XA) as a lucky break. Besides printing your own, the only way to get that maneuver deck is by buying a Heinkel, which are rare. If you end up getting into unofficial Pacific planes you can use it also for a Mitsubishi Betty.

    Thank you! That makes sense, I was losing my mind trying to work out what went with what.

    Thanks all. I'm missing all the bomb/target/AA cards from my B17s and Lancaster then, I definitely don't have any cards with 3 and 6 bombs sadly.

    I will probably try and print a deck for the B25 then, or I might ditch it, would it better to keep the incorrect deck for a custom Heinkel or sell it with the B25? I do love the B25 model for Wings of Glory. It's also fun to fly in various PC games.

    Found these thankfully. Presume they go with these bombers. Does anyone recognise which they go with please? Not sure why my images get rotated when I upload them. Thanks

    For the bomb cards, each B-17 and Lancaster come with a sets of cards besides the maneuver deck. The bomb cards are a set of 3. There are small white numbers on the lower left, 1/3, 2/3, 3/3.
    The AA guns are a set of 2. Also a set of 2 target terrain cards, rr track, road, town...
