Yes , but the stats are updated in this release to take account of the new “No Stall” Trait

I’ve not had a chance to compare the physical models however the A6M2 is a totally new sculpt  and it has different stats, including the new “No Stalling” trait. The main visual difference is the A6M2 has longer wings, and the A6M5 has three visible exhaust pipes each side at the edge of the engine cowling.

Sorry, I wont have a good word said about the Buffalo 🙂

Yup – I think the issue is as much circumstances as a weakness in the Devastator – they did ok prior to Midway, and ANYTHING thrown in without escort would suffer, but the Devastator seems to have ben scapegoated a bit.

Hopefully the demand has been noted. I suppose the fact we have 4 options in your response shows that Warlord will struggle to keep everyone happy, but it certainly needs something

The rivet counter in me would point out Swede “claimed” three Zeroes, most recent assessments is he actually shot down none of them, and the ramming story is a pure fabrication (not his – just the “Yellow Press” as far as I can tell) .

The replacement of Swordfish Albacores on…[Read more]

That’s good. I’ve had a chance to read the starter rules and I am quite happy with them – blog post here  https://twtrb.blogspot.com/2020/04/naval-gazing-part-2-rules-first.html

but the TLDR version is “I think these will work and look fun”

In short, yes. There are plans to produce more twin engined bombers for BRS at some time in the future. I cant say what or when but certainly they are on the release plan, however Covid has wrecked that. Check out The Ready Room on Facebook for info on proxies if you cant wait

Theyre some pretty Yaks there m8

When we did the WW2 jet stats we set ourselves a limit of things we could show had flown operationally. It is a question of having a reliable source of info as much as anything. There is no real way of saying how planes that never flew, or only flew as prototypes would ever have performed. One day if BRS goes into Konflict 47 then maybe, but…[Read more]

Battle of Britain 80th Anniversary Campaign update. 27.07.40. Both sides are finding the fighting a strain as losses mount. The Germans are not slacking in their attacks, and the British are still rising to meet them. Convoys are still getting through, but it’s a far from easy run. Overall the RAF are just holding their own, but it’s a close run…[Read more]

BoB80 Campaign Update. Morning 17th July 1940. “Kesselring is furious” said the aid. The two Luftwaffe Staff officers talked in hushed tones. After initial success it was becoming clear that the Luftwaffe were not having it all their own way over the Channel. Fierce dogfights were now being reported daily, and the plan to use the threats to…[Read more]
