Latest additions to my collection.  DOZENS of titles were available from fellow-wargamers (including an estate sale with over 100 games) but limited myself to only a few:
Now, the problem is, how to divide five Afghans from three mules and have two Englishmen left over.

Staggerwing

Nice!

I used to have a copy of Armor attacks. IIRC, it came bundled with one of the earliest M1 tank simulation computer games, either M1 Tank Platoon or Abams Battle tank.

Yeah, the novel isn't that great.  There's a reason no one talks about it.  Go read Harold Coyle instead.

How big is the local Wings of Glory community?  Do they play that much at Trumpeter Society?

Jack Nastyface

I don't think ANYONE at trumpeter plays wings of war, as they already have a fairly well established air combat group playing either Canvas Eagles(?) and Check Your Six!
The Wings of Glory games at BottosCon (hosted by Mike from Comox) were all very well attended, but again, I don't think there is a "regular" group that gets together in Vancouver or the GVRD...but I could be wrong.

Thanks.  That's a pity.  I have been trying to convince the Armada/X-Wing crowd to give it a whirl but there has been pretty much zero interest.  Oh well, it's not like I really need to be flinging more money at another miniatures game.

Wings of Glory? I have not heard of this. And I will stick my fingers in my ear and go LALLALALALALALA so I don't hear any more of it.

This is a crime against gaming.
