About the game
In Wings of Glory — Tripods & Triplanes, the knights of the air of WW1 battle against colossal fighting machines sent by the Martians to invade Earth. The MK. III “Squid" tripod is one of the most lethal weapons of the Martian invaders. Its arrival often is a warning of the coming of a massive assault of the tripods, but one of these scouts is well able to destroy Earthlings by himself. Each Tripod Pack is a ready–to–play model, painted and assembled, 100% compatible with any other WW1 Wings of Glory game product. —description from the publisher
