Take To The Skies With FoW’s Arab-Israeli Conflict
January 18, 2014 by brennon
Flames of War have more to offer this month than just World War II tanks and tank killers. They are also adding to the Arab-Israeli conflict with the Dassault Ouragan and MiG-17 aircraft to patrol the skies.
The MiG is the name and the shape that I think is most recognisable to most people and it was one hell of a plane, earning that renown. The Dassault Ouragan is no less a plane however and it was able to be used to dangerous and devastating effect on the enemies of Israel.
These are some quite cool looking planes to use in your games of Flames of War and, once again, it's good to see that they are still supporting this theatre of war.
Which would you pick?
Being an old fogey, I remember seeing the news reports at the time, and you can see footage on Youtube now. They were remarkably similar aircraft which is why some fell victim to anti-aircraft fire from their own troops on the ground. This was an even bigger problem in WW2 – some aircraft types were banned from fighter-bomber roles for the first week after the D-Day landings as ground forces were confusing some P47’s with FW190’s.
Hence the reason for Invasion stripes.. but yeah nothing is fool proof…
Love the Ouragan
