Airplane cards I am working on.

[aper373]

Here are a few homemade airplane cards that I am making or reworking to upload for anybody that is interested.

Airplane Maneuver Deck Damage Deck Hit Points
SPAD VII: B B 16
Nieuport 28: M A 14
Bristol F2b: B B/B B/A 16
Halberstadt CL.II: J B/B 15
Aviatik D.I Berg: B A 14
Phonix D.I: J A 15
Hansa Brandenburg D.I: J B 13
Sopwith Pup: I B 13

I've done a bit of research on these to be able to fit them into the existing maneuver decks. I am open to any suggestion on what there abilities in the game should be.

Well, the Spad VII is officially going to be B B 15

Wow, Keith do you ever sleep?

Thanks for the reply. I had conversed with Andrea awhile back after I did my first SPAD VII card and he mentioned that the SPAD VII would eventually be made but he wasn't sure when. When is this coming out?

I guess until then I'll make it B B 15.

No, not really. LOL The VII is coming out as a card in the Hit and Run booster.

Well dag-nabit-all! (old southern slang there) I guess I'll hold off on the SPAD VII and the Aviatik. If you go to the Yahoo! wow_nexus group you'll see that I had uploaded a zip file with several of the SPADS VII he is going to offer. I'm happy to see they will be released.

What about the other planes I listed? I can tell you that the F2b and the Halberstadt CL.II are a hand full having a tail gunner and maneuvering like a fighter.

There was a thread/post around here somewhere about the Bristol Fighter, and Andrea stated that 2-seaters cannot fire the rear gun during the three cards of an Immelman. That takes the sting out of them a bit.

[aper373]

Even if you didn't use the rear gun during the immelmann maneuver, just a fly by can get you stung twice.

[krolik]

I didn't say they still weren't dangerous.

The Bristol Fighter had a reputation as being a very dangerous plane to fight when it was flown like a scout, not like a two-seater. I've used it a few times, with the immelman, and it does have that extra sting in the rear, but it's not unbeatable.

[aper373]

Just curious, where did you get you F2b card? Did you make it or downloaded?


I've uploaded a Halberstadt CL.II if your interested in having a German two-seater fighter.

I don't use cards. Miniatures only.

I had the local TAP Plastics cut a few plastic bases of the correct size, and I drilled and marked then my self.

I also have a Rumpler, AEG G IV, Halberstadt CL III, & a Breguet Br 14.
