Each WWII Wings of Glory Special Pack includes a ready-to-play model, painted and assembled, 100% compatible with any other WWII 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, a management card, a deck of manoeuvre cards, plus all the necessary rules and counters.
This Avro Lancaster B Mk III is a wonderful rendition of LS739 / HW-Z
which served with 100 Squadron RAF and was based at RAF Grimsby - now
somewhere under what is now New Waltham and not to be confused with
RAF Binbrook nearby. Being one of the four Heavy Bombers which Ares
Games released for Wings of Glory WW2 or WGS in 2014 this aircraft is
not one I would recommend for an inexperienced user to try and Plug &
Play into the game as if it was for instance a fighter or a Bristol
Beaufighter. This is because to operate this aircraft properly there
is usage of an Aircraft Management Card required as it is both multi
engine and multi crew and this enables individual engines and crew to
become incapacitated in an attack as opposed to just wiping out the
entire aircraft! For that see Explosion Chit in the Rules & Accessory
Pack. Important to note Aircraft Management in-game does not disrupt
the gameplay beyond a reasonable extent and is carried out with the
chits and tokens supplied with the aircraft instead of dice. Target
and Bombing Cards are also included with the aircraft as these are all
upgraded from the default ones supplied within the RAP. Recommended?
Get to know the game first with the operation of Heavy Bombers as a
challenge one is able to look forward to. Take the learn to walk
before you run approach to this aircraft I say with two years' playing
experience and it is recommended without hesitation - 10/10.
