delayed Spitfyre: Aerial Combat in the skies of Panzerfäuste

A Sting in the Tail!

Well that didn't take you long! It seems you are batty for Bats Over Tôrg Baraz! Thank you for your support. The supplement and its seven miniatures will be included alongside Spitfyre and the eleven miniatures that come with that for all Ace level pledgers!




Ok, so what's next? Well following the Dwarf invasion of Tôrg Baraz a "volunteer" force of Orc Air Force pilots flew to the Troglodyte realm to help fight the invading Dwarves. Alongside the Spitfyres and HurriKanes that headed north were a number of Defier wyverns, a rather unique air-beast with, literally, a sting its tail!



Rough concept sketch of Orc Defier wyvern

Noting this particular wyverns unique hunting habit of flying ahead of its prey and attacking with its venomous tail, the Orcs came up with the idea of incorporating the breed in the Orc Air Force, supplementing the wyverns natural weapon with a rear gunner firing four machine-guns.

Defier tactics are to fly ahead of enemy bombers and then attack them in their typically unarmed front arc with their own rear facing weaponry. How successful was the Defier in combat? Well you'll have to wait and see...

Every Ace level pledger will receive one Defier wyvern and flying base for free if we reach £7000 in pledges...

Cheers


and since that funded

So what next, well it's back to the Gnomes Aéronautique de Oiseuax Militaire and their frontline, but rather slow and obselete, Pigeon de Guerre bomber, whose brave crew flew missions in both the Tôrg Baraz and Branzhûm air campaigns as well as in defence of their homeland.

If we can reach £8,000 in pledges we will include one Pigeon de Guerre bomber for FREE in each ACE pledge. Sacre bleu!

plus confirmation that the supplement needs the main rules to play too (not a surprise, I guess somebody was wondering if they could split a pledge with a mate?)

[lowlylowlycook]

Man if I hadn't got into way too many games in the last month this would seriously tempt me.  It's very cool.

 

Very.

[Darsc Zacal]

This is tempting.

[Dan d'Lyon]

Yes, very tempting indeed.

Spitfyre countdown...

Posted by Hysterical Games (Creator)

Just a heads up that the Spitfyre Kickstarter has 48 hours left to run... It has been much more successful than we anticipated, thank you to everyone who has joined in. If you haven't yet, there is still time to climb on board and grab a bargain. The £25 Pilot pledge gets you about £60 of goodies and the £50 Ace pledge over £100 if we hit the last stretch goal. The Spitfyre Pilot pledge...

I feel my willpower ebbing.   If you guys could stop bumping this thread for a couple days, I would be appreciative.

Ok, i'll try and bump it more often  (i'm actually in the same position, I've no use for any of this and no money to spend but it's so cool I really, really want it all)

 

ACE STRETCH GOAL IV: TROGLODYTE MARA 23 BOMBER (TARGET £11000)

If we reach this Stretch Goal all ACE pledgers will receive one polyurethane resin 10mm scale Troglodyte Air Force Mara 23 Bat Light Bomber and flying base added to their pledge for FREE and the rules will be extended to include the design.

31 hours to go

[lowlylowlycook]

I was minding my own business, just texting to my peeps while cruising down the avenue when I hit an unexpected speed bump.  My finger slipped and I pledged for this. 

 

It's going to be that kind of day, I guess.

[Orlando_the_Technicoloured]

And the Troglodyte Mara 23 bat light bomber is now funded and all ACE level pledgers will get one FREE!

Next up the Dwarf reconnaissance Storch 156... Just nine hours to go, can we do it?

[Dan d'Lyon]

I really want to pledge because this is incredibly cool.  But I really don't think I'd play the game.

That's what it comes down to for me too, especially considering how long it's been since I've played my Wings of War game.
