About the game
The first WW1 products for Wings of Glory are two extra-large models: the WW1 bombers Caproni CA.3 and Gotha G.V. Each Wings of Glory: WW1 Special Pack contains one painted and assembled 1/144 model with the flight stand and the maneuvre cards related to that airplane, the special rules leaflet, the plane consolle, and counters required to play with these models. The WWI bombers are featured in two different color schemes each. Wings of War players can add these new models and their rules to the game without any problem. Wings of Glory WWI planes are 100% compatible with Wings of War, using the same scale, base-fittings and pegs.
