Oh how nice! A “help me” sign! Written backwards it’s “empleh” and that nearly sounds like “empire” because she is so immersed into the game that she holds a sign proclaiming her loyalty to the German Empire!! A true war hero !

Thank you for all of your great vids during Season 2. Stay safe, guys, and best wishes for Season 3 when we come out the other side of the current situation!
you all prolly dont care at all but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Griffin Cody thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I’ve visited his crash site on the Somme where he was brought down by Australian ground fire. It’s a special site. His flying gloves from that day are on display at the Australian War Memorial.
@@uncletimo6059 Well, we've got as much a claim as anyone else has. And we have his gloves and boots. ANZAC troops are also responsible for the capture of 'Mephisto', which is now the only surviving A7V tank in the world. It's in the Queensland Museum.
@@uncletimo6059- Entry wounds clearly suggest ground fire and extent of injuries indicate flying time after being shot...putting him over Australian lines at the time. So suck it, Festerhead.
I asked my friends (btw I’m a freshman in Highschool) and none of them know about this channel I was able to get 3 out of the five friends to get into it and I now finally have someone to play my war strategy games with! P.S. My favorite WWI fighter plane is definitely the British Sopwith Camel I even have a whole bunch of legos on the way to make a homemade set with it.
Cool man im a freshmen as well but sadly most my friends are into 40k and d&d not interested in history like me so i only play against my family wich gets old fast
I have a civil war regimental rule set called Across a Deadly Field where when you lose a figure or an artillery section, you place a piece of pipe cleaner on the base. There has also been situations where an enemy regiment rolled high enough and an entire stand is removed.
Great video everyone! I have been waiting fort this one. Thanks for letting me be a part of yet another great video. Favorite plane will have to be the Staaken. Love the big bombers!
This was great, what a way to end the season. You guys are awesome. My favorite WW1 plane is def your cardboard mockup that had me rolling on the floor EVERY TIME you used it! Truly an enjoyable video, especially now when youtube content is keeping many of us from going mad. Thank you so much for all your hard work on the channel. Peace and stay safe.
Thanks, John. We had a lot of fun squeezing club members into that cardboard death-trap. There are photos showing how we built it on our website under the "Free Stuff" section.
The Fokker E- series has always been my favorite. Single wing, agile, early war and ahead of its time. Immelman's first warbird, too. Nice looking miniatures you've got there, too
A most enjoyable foray into WW1. Great production, lots of fun. Perhaps one day you'll do one with the bigger Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutters or Breget? See what rear gunners can do. In the interim, stay safe.
I just have to love the Royal Factory Aircraft S.E.5. Something about all the effort that went into the sliding reloading mechanism so they could keep the MG mounted on the top of the plane just gets me.
Excellent again, a wonderful mixture of history and wargaming - you guys are legends, keep up the good work when you can get back together. I have always had a soft spot for the Albatross DIII I have modelled it a few times in one of the many colourful paint schemes. Your cardboard mock-up made me laugh, and reminded me of two similar ones I made for a play, they were great fun and generated much hilarity!
Thanks for an awesome finale and providing a generally all-round enjoyable series. I have only started my adventure into historical wargaming over the last 12 or so months, and this has been a series that has regularly inspired me in my push, both in considering rulesets and eras to explore further. Hope to continue seeing them for a while to come and that you will be able to emerge the other side of Covid-19 producing more great content. As for my favourite WW1 aircraft, I find it hard to go past the Sopwith Camels. One of my first forays into learning about WW1 was some books by Peter Fitzsimons centered around the Australian Involvement in WW1, and in particular, during the book 'Victory at Villers-Brettonoux' the Camels feature heavily, so they are a big part of my early discovery of the war. The Focker Dr.1 would be a close second.
This was an incredible video, the cockpit skits were a great addition to the heated dogfights. My favorite WW1 aircraft would be the Gotha G.IV, just a big bomber with a chicken coop on top for a gunner.
I found your channel very recently and I’ve been amazed by every single video, your channel has actually inspired me to buy my own set of miniatures of the napoleonic era for Black Powder using the money i received for my 15th Birthday. I am super excited to assemble and paint these miniatures, and once i’m done i’m headed straight for the battlefields!
Just found this channel, and I'm so happy I did! I love history, and watching you guys play out the "What-if's" is great, as well as all the humor. Keep it up! By the way, gotta go with the Sopwith Camel. It was the first WW1 plane I was introduced to as a kid, thanks to Microsoft Flight Simulator '98.
The Sopwith Camel, one of the greatest period fighters of all time. Downed more enemy fighters than any other plane. You guys are fantastic, love the videos and the enthusiasm that goes into it. York isn’t terribly far from Baltimore, so if you guys are ever in town or need an extra hand, let me know!
I have to go with the "Zeppelin-Staaken R-Serie" the biggest plane of ww1. It had a range of 800 km, a speed of max 130 km/h and a maximum of 2000kg of bombs. And the looks of it is also really cool. By the way, really good video 👍
This was one of my favorite shows you've done. First time it was a game system that I've actually played too (though when I was playing it, it was still the old version, 'Wings of War'.) Loved the narration too. I can't believe you got Nick Podehl! Not that the regular commentary isn't good, but I certainly hope he'll be back again sometime. And I echo others' sentiments that it was great seeing the ladies in the thick of the fight.
Thank you very much for another season. Such a high standard! This episode was really fun. I love wings of glory, it is indeed a game for every kind of player (even those that do not like wargames) so, great season finale. Happe to see new faces!
Great game, growing up in Germany I was acutely aware of the "Rote Baron." I still own a copy of TSR's "Dawn Patrol". Also, thank you for including the ladies - way under represented in our hobby! =)
The Sopwith Camel has to be one of my favorite ww1 aircrafts, was even the aircraft of choice in the Flight Sim, Red Baron 3D! Awesome video by the way!
What a fun video. I remember a year, where most of my high school friends and I played an extended campaign using TSRs Dawn Patrol. It became a weekend event of counter pushing and drinking copious amounts of moosehead beer (that was exotic in the day). I have to say, I fell in love with the Albatros D.III. playing that game, and reluctantly took the Camel, if forced playing the other side.
Great finale. One of the most entertaining episodes you guys have done in a while. When I saw the trailer last week I hypothesized that it'd be using Wings of War/Glory. I've always found the movement cards to be a little too fiddly for me, but after seeing such an awesome campaign idea played out I'm rethinking giving it a shot. Thanks for the content and stay safe!
My favorite plane is the Bristol Type 22. I love the look and the extra seat that allows for a tail gunner. The Bristol was also a good staple plane for the time peroid.
I'm happy to see one of my favorite games being played on your channel. I contracted the WoG mini bug when the game first hit the shelves at my LGS back when it was WoW. Of all the aircraft minis, I have to say that my favorite would be the Albatross D.Va, followed closely by the Pfalz D.IIIa, the Fokker Dr.I and the SPAD XIIca.
The most beautiful of the aircraft of WW1, the Albatross Dlll. And also the craft the Baron did very many of his kills in. Lovely little campaign. Thank you looked like great fun.
Personal favorite plane. Spad S. XIII flown and mastered by Eddie Rickenbacker of the 94th Aero Squadron. Absolutely love the channel, trying to get into wargame and your videos serve as a great way to get introduced. Keep up the amazing work!!
Absolutely awesome, and although biased because air combat this was one of your best if not THE BEST. Love the showcase of the Wings of Glory :) I'm RFC/RAF ww1 fanboy so the S.E.5a is, and without any shadow of doubt, the best machine to take to the air during the conflict, and with pilots to boot because the pilot makes the best machine a legendary machine.
Good afternoon chaps. It was spiffing to see you all mixing it with the Hun. Wizard prangs eh what? Dashed good show! Gave them a proper thrashing. My favourite kite of the first show was without doubt the beautiful Sopwith Pup. So much more elegant than the more powerful and better armed Camel. Keep up the good work and thanks for all you do.
Great show! Loved the sound effects in the video, but the multi game campaign with different objectives puts a wonderful feeling to a day over the trenches. My favorite aircraft in W.W. I is the Albratross dV, the work horse of the German Imperial Air Force. For the Allies, gotta go with the homeland hero, Capt. Eddie and the Nieuport 28.
Hmm should have not allowed anyone to talk during the game (hand signals and streamers only) to make it more realistic. Regardless, this is yet another great production with fun and informative information. Love the idea of using telescopic stands. I will have to look at these if I ever get the game.
Probably recorded a lot earlier, but yall really should self-quarantine. Not just for yourselves being older, but for all people. Nonetheless I enjoyed the video. Richtofen has often been a very curious character, especially HIS death and other ACES at the same time. It's really sad that at the last 6 months SOOOO many aces were shot down and killed. Never to touch their knowledge like yall have tried. Loved 9:40 and the retake. It's great to see the younger generation playing wargaming. Even if it is a call for help! :) Day before April 20th wonder if those pilots were uhh.... too high in the skies?! Also Scott Brick is not narrating but giving description? I recognize his voice anywhere.
@@LittleWarsTV I'd like to sincerely apologize for my shortsightedness I didn't read the description. I just really appreciate the work all yall do, and since wargaming and related is more social, I just freaked a bit. Many blessings on more seasons to come!
The Goth G.V is definitely my favorite plane of World War 1. When it was used to raid Britain, it gave the British a reason to create an Air Force for home defense and may have been one of the reasons why the British were so successful during the Battle of Britain during World War II
The earlier Zeppelin scourge from 1915 onwards also played a part in the formation of the home defence squadrons. It had some notable successes. in particular the shooting down of SL 11 by William Leefe Robinson V.C on the 2/3 September 1916.
This was pretty exciting game play folks! Its always nice to get a lot of people...even family involved with your hobby. I've never played "Wings of Glory". I've grown up playing the old school "Blue Max" using 1:72 scale models and a ol' Battle Masters game mat. By the appearance it would seem both systems have similar concepts; like maneuver selection, combat chits/cards, and tracking damage..I'm sure there are other differences. I would be intersted in taking the jump into a new system. The big different is you're not confined to a hexagon like BM. Multi-player gaming seems to work well...not sure how long in real time it would take to activate multiple aircraft for one player. So you guys also shown your hand for the flight stands...that has to be a "How-to" video. Favorite aircraft of WWI, well there are a lot to choose from like the Albatros D,Va, the S.E.5A, Fokker DVIIf or even the Bristol F.2B; but my favorite due its performance and sleek look has to be the Hannover CL.II. Take care and looking forward to the next video. Oh...hey where's Greg?
Great video. My favorite WW I airplane is the Fokker D VII. I got a plastic toy set of planes when I was very young. I “flew” the Fokker D VII all the time. My grandpa told me everything he could about that plane. It holds a special place for me.
My favorite WW1 plane is the Sopwith Camel. We have made a wargame like this from paper and cardboard since we don't have miniatures. We really like watching your vidoes and they give us great ideas about what battles we should do. Thank you for posting videos.
I love the Hanriot HD.1 Being from belgium, it's the airplane Willy "Blue Devil" Coppens (the best belgian ace in ww1) used and funny enough he is the best balloon hunter of WW1 to my knowledge ;) I painted his plane as one of my first model kits almost 25 years ago. Nice video guys, see you next season !
Little Wars TV the incredible advances you guys are making in the Little Wars Lab are limitless! Serious note: thanks for a wonderful season 2. I got a Wings of Glory Battle of Britain boxed set just this Christmas and look forward to fun like this as I expand it!
I like the Handles Page Type O. Something about the bomber is just really interesting to me. This video was fantastic by the way! Hope the club is all safe and I can’t wait to see you guys playing again! Stay healthy!
Great video and thank you for breaking the monotony while we are confined. My favorite WWI Aircraft is the F.E.2b (F.E. Stands for Farman Experimental ). My hero is Captain Frederick Libby, America’s first Ace in WWI. The Capt. flew with the Royal Flying Corps and got his first kill over Vimy Ridge. Frederick grew up in Sterling Colorado, was a cowboy and during a blizzard he held up in a small dugout with his horse for a few days. He wound up in Canada and joined the Canadian Army for some adventures. He wrote a book called Horses Don’t Fly which I Encourage you guys to read fantastic story. The captain died in Los Angeles in 1970.
Gotta be the Sopwith Camel for me, and thanks for hosting such a fun give-away! By the way, the cockpit closeups had me giggling like a kid. I really hope this Covid stuff clears up soon so we aren’t deprived of your hijinks for very long. Safety and health to everyone in your club!
JORDAN CRUMP--your comment is the random winner of the Wings of Glory giveaway! Whomever you are and wherever in the world you happen to live, please email us at littlewarstv@gmail.com to get your boxed set!
I 2nd this. Would make a great war gaming crafting video like some of your earlier videos. And would cover another aspect of the hobby besides terrain making.
Once again an awesome Game Day. Also love the NASM. Local secret - Udvar Hazy near Dulles charges $15 for parking but if you go in the last hour (after 4pm) parking is FREE! We live close enough the boys & I will swing thru when working on model aircraft for some 1:1 scale painting guides!
Albatross DIII was my favorite WWI Aircraft. The Spadau syncronized machineguns mounted over the fuselage design with the propeller spinner air cap appeared to permit the aircraft to slice through the air rather than the box front of the early Allied aircraft. All in all a well designed fighter aitcraft. Just a beautiful aircraft.
Loved the video. The game looks very easy to get into. My personal favorite WWI Fighter was the Curtiss JN-4 Jenny. Not the deadliest and not even originally designed as a fighter it was built in large numbers and became the mainstay of civilian aviation in the post war US. Many young people got their first taste of flying with them.
My favorite plane of ww1 is Lohner type AA because it looks funny and i´m quite sad it never entered a production. I wish you all good health and keep up the good work .
This was great, I really enjoyed it. One small point - the RAF was not formed until 1918. When your scenario was set it would have been the RFC ready room. Thanks.
I like flying the Albatross D VII in the simulator Rise of Flight. Sturdy aircraft, good firepower, relatively fast. Flying Circus is the successor in development to RoF , for anyone interested. Wings of Glory looks like a game I could get into. Loved the presentation, table looked fantastic. The humour was well appreciated :)
I'd just like to say I really appreciate that you all make these so much fun, it's really nice to see a competitive yet fun atmosphere. Keep up the good work!
Nicely done, particularly liked your mission brief as an extension to the game - Though was hoping to see my Favorite - Frank Luke in his Spad S XIII, along with his friend Joe Wehner going for the Drachens
"I Didn't Die"
She's savage lol
Not bloody _yet,_ Desertress...
@seand.g423 she didn't desert, she got lost on the way to the battle.
Oh how nice!
A “help me” sign! Written backwards it’s “empleh” and that nearly sounds like “empire” because she is so immersed into the game that she holds a sign proclaiming her loyalty to the German Empire!!
A true war hero !
Love seeing women fighting the wargame. Hilarious when the young girl holds up the sign "HELP ME"!
I guess she does not speak German?

@@Sgt.Kilrain WW2 In Real Time is an AWESOME channel. Love watching that.
I think some videos dealing with solo play, or remote campaign play/PBEM is appropos.
Thankyou from the UK. Hopefully Season 3 will be fine as your channel is a genuine pleasure. Take care!
I thought becoming a pilot in the "Imperial German Air Service" was voluntary. Helena would seem to belie that...
Oh you know, the occasional conscript here or there....
Dave Franklin as someone who is the dad of a similarly aged teenage daughter, I salute her and the persuasive powers of her dad!
This was the funniest battle I've ever seen from Little Wars TV. Keep up the good work and humor.

I’ve visited his crash site on the Somme where he was brought down by Australian ground fire. It’s a special site. His flying gloves from that day are on display at the Australian War Memorial.

My god those plane sets you did XD seeing Steve in that cockpit killed me
Love the pipe cleaner damage markers!!
I have a civil war regimental rule set called Across a Deadly Field where when you lose a figure or an artillery section, you place a piece of pipe cleaner on the base. There has also been situations where an enemy regiment rolled high enough and an entire stand is removed.
I can agree with Helena when some of my friends at my LGS say, "Wanna try out this new game?"
The same feels man, the same feels
Great video everyone! I have been waiting fort this one. Thanks for letting me be a part of yet another great video. Favorite plane will have to be the Staaken. Love the big bombers!
Thank YOU for being the “voice” of our bookend episodes! A wonderful change of pace from hearing Greg and Steve prattling on.
This was great, what a way to end the season. You guys are awesome. My favorite WW1 plane is def your cardboard mockup that had me rolling on the floor EVERY TIME you used it!

Kudos to Helena! Absolutely loved the “Help Me” sign! Thanks for spending time with your pops.
One thing to add- all pilots were cold-blooded when it came to shooting. Rickenbacker, Bell, etc., all aimed for the pilot when possible.
Excellent again, a wonderful mixture of history and wargaming - you guys are legends, keep up the good work when you can get back together.

Just found this channel, and I'm so happy I did! I love history, and watching you guys play out the "What-if's" is great, as well as all the humor. Keep it up!
By the way, gotta go with the Sopwith Camel. It was the first WW1 plane I was introduced to as a kid, thanks to Microsoft Flight Simulator '98.
The Sopwith Camel, one of the greatest period fighters of all time. Downed more enemy fighters than any other plane.
You guys are fantastic, love the videos and the enthusiasm that goes into it.

Nick was very gracious in his willingness to help as a fellow tabletop wargamer. He also did the narration for our Gettysburg episode last summer!
Great to see an air wargame. The sector allocations were really well thought out. I think I'd choose the Sopwith Pup.
Thank you very much for another season. Such a high standard! This episode was really fun. I love wings of glory, it is indeed a game for every kind of player (even those that do not like wargames) so, great season finale. Happe to see new faces!

I never thought Wargaming WW1 aerial battles could look like so much fun. This channel is great!
Let's pitch in an pay the ransome and get Helena home.... All joking aside, great stuff as usual guys and gals....thanks
Oh man! I didn’t expect the “in cockpit” scenes XD
So enjoyable to watch! I love you guys!
Hah, thanks! We had a lot of fun figuring out how to do the cockpit scenes with our...limited VFX abilities.
@@LittleWarsTV Wait that was VFX? You don't own a biplane? I feel deceived.
What a fun video. I remember a year, where most of my high school friends and I played an extended campaign using TSRs Dawn Patrol.

One of your best episodes in a while! The biplane mockup got me every time. Favorite plane is the Sopwith Camel for sure!
Great video. You guys have too much fun. I love that even though your games are competitive, your club is cooperative.
My dogs would insist that the Sopwith Camel was a most worthy aeroplane. This was such fun to watch. Thanks to all of the Little Wars crew!
I love what you did with the flying stands! As for favorite planes, I'll go with the Nieuport 28.
The most beautiful of the aircraft of WW1, the Albatross Dlll. And also the craft the Baron did very many of his kills in. Lovely little campaign. Thank you looked like great fun.

Since the Y-Wing of Gold Squadron isn’t an option (Nice one Steve), my vote is for CPT Eddie Rickenbacker’s Spad XIII of the 94th Aero Squadron.
Wonderfully played table top war gamming!!!
It's great to see younger people playing these games!!

Day before April 20th wonder if those pilots were uhh.... too high in the skies?!
Also Scott Brick is not narrating but giving description? I recognize his voice anywhere.
As noted in the pinned comment, this episode was filmed months ago.
@@LittleWarsTV I'd like to sincerely apologize for my shortsightedness I didn't read the description. I just really appreciate the work all yall do, and since wargaming and related is more social, I just freaked a bit.
Many blessings on more seasons to come!
If only I was as prolific and talented as Scott Brick. Alas, ‘tis just me. Then again, not sure Me Brick would enjoy Wings if Glory as much as I do
The Goth G.V is definitely my favorite plane of World War 1. When it was used to raid Britain, it gave the British a reason to create an Air Force for home defense and may have been one of the reasons why the British were so successful during the Battle of Britain during World War II
The earlier Zeppelin scourge from 1915 onwards also played a part in the formation of the home defence squadrons. It had some notable successes. in particular the shooting down of SL 11 by William Leefe Robinson V.C on the 2/3 September 1916.
Absolutely love the channel! The historical info and serious discussion is great and the campy acting is awesome. Please keep them coming!
This was pretty exciting game play folks! Its always nice to get a lot of people...even family involved with your hobby. I've never played "Wings of Glory". I've grown up playing the old school "Blue Max" using 1:72 scale models and a ol' Battle Masters game mat. By the appearance it would seem both systems have similar concepts; like maneuver selection, combat chits/cards, and tracking damage..I'm sure there are other differences. I would be intersted in taking the jump into a new system. The big different is you're not confined to a hexagon like BM. Multi-player gaming seems to work well...not sure how long in real time it would take to activate multiple aircraft for one player. So you guys also shown your hand for the flight stands...that has to be a "How-to" video. Favorite aircraft of WWI, well there are a lot to choose from like the Albatros D,Va, the S.E.5A, Fokker DVIIf or even the Bristol F.2B; but my favorite due its performance and sleek look has to be the Hannover CL.II. Take care and looking forward to the next video. Oh...hey where's Greg?
Excellent season ender guys, and wonderfully entertaining season overall. Great, great stuff!
Great video. My favorite WW I airplane is the Fokker D VII. I got a plastic toy set of planes when I was very young. I “flew” the Fokker D VII all the time. My grandpa told me everything he could about that plane. It holds a special place for me.
How did y'all do the cockpit scenes, inquiring minds want to know! Get ole' Irate in the drawing with my favorite the Fokker Albatross.
Another great video - excellent ’dramatic’ narration. Favorite WWI plane was the American made Curtis-JN ’Jenny’ biplane.
Looks like a fantastic game to play! My favorite plane from the war was the S.E. 5a.
My favorite WW1 plane is the Sopwith Camel. We have made a wargame like this from paper and cardboard since we don't have miniatures. We really like watching your vidoes and they give us great ideas about what battles we should do. Thank you for posting videos.
I love the Hanriot HD.1
Being from belgium, it's the airplane Willy "Blue Devil" Coppens (the best belgian ace in ww1) used and funny enough he is the best balloon hunter of WW1 to my knowledge ;)
I painted his plane as one of my first model kits almost 25 years ago.
Nice video guys, see you next season !
Being locked up for COVID, you guys have taken the special effects to the next level.
We have patented a proprietary time-travel device that allowed us to take game footage from several months ago and make it appear TODAY!
Little Wars TV the incredible advances you guys are making in the Little Wars Lab are limitless!
Serious note: thanks for a wonderful season 2. I got a Wings of Glory Battle of Britain boxed set just this Christmas and look forward to fun like this as I expand it!
Albatros DIII, or even the DV. Great looking plane, first real nod to aerodynamics, and an amazing selection of liveries.
Great batreps and awesoe video editing. You definitely stepped up your game with this one
Love seeing Wings of Glory on youtube. My favourite WW1 plane is the Bristol F2b its performance for a 2 seater was exceptional
I like the Handles Page Type O. Something about the bomber is just really interesting to me.
This video was fantastic by the way! Hope the club is all safe and I can’t wait to see you guys playing again! Stay healthy!
Great video and thank you for breaking the monotony while we are confined. My favorite WWI Aircraft is the F.E.2b (F.E. Stands for Farman Experimental ). My hero is Captain Frederick Libby, America’s first Ace in WWI. The Capt. flew with the Royal Flying Corps and got his first kill over Vimy Ridge. Frederick grew up in Sterling Colorado, was a cowboy and during a blizzard he held up in a small dugout with his horse for a few days. He wound up in Canada and joined the Canadian Army for some adventures. He wrote a book called Horses Don’t Fly which I Encourage you guys to read fantastic story. The captain died in Los Angeles in 1970.
Gotta be the Sopwith Camel for me, and thanks for hosting such a fun give-away!
By the way, the cockpit closeups had me giggling like a kid. I really hope this Covid stuff clears up soon so we aren’t deprived of your hijinks for very long.
Safety and health to everyone in your club!

@@LittleWarsTV You guys are the best! Just sent you an e-mail!
Do you have a video on how to make those telescoping stands?
Not yet, I'm afraid!
I 2nd this. Would make a great war gaming crafting video like some of your earlier videos. And would cover another aspect of the hobby besides terrain making.
Your videos are consistently improving well done. My personal favourite WWI plane was the Sopwith Triplane.
Thanks! It's fun to look back at some of the older videos on the channel and see how they've evolved as our amateur editing skills improve.
Best video yet. Everyone seemed to have a great time. Really enjoyed it. My favorite WWI aircraft is the Sopwith Camel.
Good game(s)! You guys had a blast playing the air battles...the "cockpit view" Is very funny, nice idea!
You guys deserve so many more subscribes and viewers! Always super high quality and hilarious content. Keep it up boys and (now also) girls!
I have always had a special place in my heart for the Sopwith Camel-only partly because of Snoopy
Once again an awesome Game Day. Also love the NASM. Local secret - Udvar Hazy near Dulles charges $15 for parking but if you go in the last hour (after 4pm) parking is FREE! We live close enough the boys & I will swing thru when working on model aircraft for some 1:1 scale painting guides!
Awesome video and thanks for keeping our spirits up. And my favorite plane is the Sopwith Camel.
Excellent episode!
Maybe your best one yet!
Also... The Spad XII is my favourite...
I mean, you gotta love the silhouette of the Fokker Dr.1! It probably looked so ridiculous, yet so threatening with that extra set of wings.
Great bat rep/history cross over again :) BTW the Sopwith factory was at the bottom of the road where I live. in Kingston upon Thames in the UK.
I really like the telescopic stand ! Fav WW1 aircraft probably the Albatros D1, with the Sopwith Camel a close second.
Great video! Never played Wings of Glory, but it looks like a blast.
Favorite aircraft - Nieuport 11, bringing the Fokker Scourge to an end.

Albatross DIII was my favorite WWI Aircraft. The Spadau syncronized machineguns mounted over the fuselage design with the propeller spinner air cap appeared to permit the aircraft to slice through the air rather than the box front of the early Allied aircraft. All in all a well designed fighter aitcraft. Just a beautiful aircraft.
Loved the video. The game looks very easy to get into. My personal favorite WWI Fighter was the Curtiss JN-4 Jenny. Not the deadliest and not even originally designed as a fighter it was built in large numbers and became the mainstay of civilian aviation in the post war US. Many young people got their first taste of flying with them.
Loving the blue screen shots. My plane would have to be Albatros D.V. Great look and good German aircraft.
I love the cutscenes lol, laughed a lot. I love the models too, the bombers are especially beautiful.
My favorite plane of ww1 is Lohner type AA because it looks funny and i´m quite sad it never entered a production. I wish you all good health and keep up the good work .
The most spiffing of jolly good aircraft, is without double the Sopwith Camel, its a splendid looker and a top notch ride.
What a great video! Thanks so much for the laughs and the entertaining game play. Favourite WW1 aircraft? The Pfalz D.IIIa.
This was great, I really enjoyed it. One small point - the RAF was not formed until 1918. When your scenario was set it would have been the RFC ready room. Thanks.
Our Death of the Red Baron scenario is set on April 21st, 1918, about three weeks after the RAF was formed.
I like flying the Albatross D VII in the simulator Rise of Flight. Sturdy aircraft, good firepower, relatively fast. Flying Circus is the successor in development to RoF , for anyone interested. Wings of Glory looks like a game I could get into. Loved the presentation, table looked fantastic. The humour was well appreciated :)
I'd just like to say I really appreciate that you all make these so much fun, it's really nice to see a competitive yet fun atmosphere. Keep up the good work!
Nice to hear, Christian! Thank you. We have a blast playing these big club games.
Great game. Love the humor, and glad to see the two ladies participate.
My aircraft; Airco DH-9...
Nicely done, particularly liked your mission brief as an extension to the game - Though was hoping to see my Favorite - Frank Luke in his Spad S XIII, along with his friend Joe Wehner going for the Drachens
You brought the whole family in! That was very enjoyable to watch, excellent format thanks.
My favorite ww1 fighter was the Nieuport 11
Lewis gun on the wing.
Loved it. The Fokker Triplane is my favorite, especially when piloted by Werner Voss.
