Phönix D.I (Lang)
The next series of WW1 Wings of Glory Airplane Packs is expected to release this Summer and will introduce new single-seat fighters - Phönix D.I and Nieuport 11- and new two-seaters - Sopwith 1½ Strutter/Comic and Albatros C.III. The series will be launched with a new content format - following the lead of the new Airplane Packs recently announced for the WW2 Wings of Glory line.
In addition to the 'traditional' contents - a fully painted and assembled airplane model, flight stand with game stats, altitude stands, and a deck of maneuver cards - the new Airplane Packs will also contain specific cards with optional rules and game information specific to each model - such as optional equipment (rockets, machine gun), special rules for individual airplanes, ace cards and skill cards.
The packaging will be also revisited to match the new content format, presenting a picture of the airplane on the back (in addition to the trasparent window showing the miniature inside), and including brief historical information about the airplane featured in the pack.
Sopwith 1½ Strutter (Costes/Astor)
The new WW1 Airplane Packs will feature three versions of each plane: the Phönix D.I piloted by Lang, Urban and Gruber, the Nieuport 11 of Chaput, De Turenne and Ancillotto, the Sopwith 1½ Strutter of Costes/Astor and Collishaw/Portsmouth and the Comic version of the 78 Squadron, and the Albatros C.III of Bohme/Ladermacher, Meinecke, and Luftstreitkräfte.
The WW1 Wings of Glory section is now updated with information and photo of these planes. To see them, visit the WW1 Airplane Packs page.
