Douglas SBD-5 Dauntless (Kirkendahl), one of the new planes coming in WW2 Wings of Glory.
A new series of Airplane Packs will be added to the WW2 Wings of Glory line soon, introducing the Messerschmitt Bf.109 K-4, Republic P-47D Thunderbolt "Razorback", Yokosuka D4Y Suisei, and Douglas SBD Dauntless. The new series uses a new content format. In addition to the "usual" contents (airplane model, flight stand with game stats, altitude stands, and a deck of maneuver cards), the Airplane Packs will contain specific cards with optional rules and game information appropriate for each model - such as the presence of drop tanks, optional armament, or pilot special abilities.
The differences between these airplanes will also be evident in the packaging itself - the new packaging will present a picture of the airplane on the back, (in addition to the trasparent window showing the miniature inside), and historical information about the airplane featured in the pack.
Republic P-47D Thunderbolt (Mohrle), to be featured in the new WW2 series.
Scheduled for an April release, the new WW2 Airplane Packs will feature three versions of each plane: the Messerschimitt Bf.109 K-4 (9./JG3, Amberg-Schafhof and Hartmann, from the Luftwaffe), Republic P-47D Thunderbolt "Razorback" (Mohrle and Raymont from USAAF, and the 135th Squadron from RAF), Yokosuka D4Y Suisei (Yokosuka Kokutai, Kokutai 121, and Kokutai 601 from the Imperial Japanese Navy), and Douglas SBD Dauntless (SBD-5 Dauntless, Lee and Kirkendahl, from the US Navy, and the French A-24B Banshee).
Stay tuned to learn more about these new planes! The complete photo gallery will be online soon.
