About the game
The Rumpler C.IV was a fine example of the basic two–seater reconnaissance airplane in WW1, with easy handling and particularly good high–altitude performance. For this purpose, a camera lens hole was cut in the fuselage under the observer’s position. The airplane was also fitted to carry 100kg/220lbs of light bombs on the wings, giving it a wide range of missions. Released in early 1917, its usefulness meant the airplane was still in the front–line use at the end of the war, both on the Western Front and the Middle East. About 1150 were built by war’s end Designed to be used with the popular air combat game system created by Andrea Angiolino and Pier Giorgio Paglia, each WW1 Wings of Glory Airplane Pack is a ready-to-play model, painted and assembled, 100% compatible with any other WW1 Wings of Glory game product. In each pack you will find all you need to play with the airplane: a special base with gaming stats, a variable altitude flying stand (4 different altitudes), and a specific deck of maneuver cards, and special cards depending of the model. —description from the publisher
