Aerodrome 2.0 looks really cool. Like the wooden dashboards! The planning your moves three moves in advance is interesting as a game mechanic, but I’m also curious if it was first and FFG borrowed it for Armada, or if these gentlemen borrowed it for Aerodrome 2.0? Wait, I think he said that the dashboards are from the original Aerodrome 1.0, which would mean that they had the 3 turn planning phase first. But many games may have been using this for some time and I just don’t know those games. But it’s still a great looking game. Kind of like,… Read more »
Obviously the warships were not to scale with the aircraft, but I actually liked that. It added a forced perspective that made it look like the aircraft were at 10 or 15,000 feet.
WOW that’s game looks good!!
I love the dashboard mechanic. The move mechanics looked a lot like Blue Max from back in the day.
It reminds me a lot of Flight Leader with that dashboard
Not familiar with that system. 🙂
Its ye olde Avalon Hill game

God, there were so many AH systems from the True Golden Age of Gaming. 😀 😀 😀
There were tons of them downstairs in “Wally’s Basement”
Picked up a complete set of GDW Assault (all counters still in the punch sheets) and one of Panzer Leader as well! 😀 😀 😀
I do not understand this, therefore obviously I have to give it a try 🙂 .
Great, having to plan your moves in advanve. Watched Midway the other day, and the planning feature seems to cover much of “it”.
Great movie.
Loved playing Flattop as a kid. Looks like fun.
one VMI Keydets hat on the table.
Not what I was expecting to see.
@wiseolbird – oh man! Flattop! That game was a lot of fun, but could be brutal. When your carrier is trying to rearm a strike, you CAP is low on fuel, and enemy dive bombers and torpedo bombers show up …
the control boards look great
I’ll say. There were at least three tables of this running at one point.
Battle of Britain or a mix of everything over the war?
Two Pacific tables, the Britain v Italy table, and a WW1 table at least (Aerodrome 1.0).
have you ever considered what the war would be like with Manfred von Richthofen instead of his arrogant understudy running things?
That’s actually a great question, @zorg . I don’t know, because history never got to learn what kind of leader and administrator Richthofen would be at higher levels of command. I don’t even know what Richthofen’s political leanings were, although had he lived in sure he would want to see the Luftwaffe rebuilt in the early 30s and HELL YEAH the Nazis would have wanted to cash in on his fame. Manfred’s brother Lothar died in an accident after WW1 but their cousin Wolfram Freiherr von Richthofen DID serve in World War I and II. He commanded VIII Fliegerkorps in… Read more »
seen a program talking about German plane production and they were trying to copy the H Ford productions but never could get the quality or speed up. then they went to the damaged ones and stated only very miner repairs would be performed in the field all other the planes get shipped back to the factory to be repaired no wonder they had less airworthy.
Yeah, part of the problem the Germans had wasn’t just mass production, but dispersed production to counter the effectiveness of Allied bombing. So the Americans could mass produce, but it was all still pretty much at one centralized plant. The Germans were trying to mass produce, but were also building as many components as possible in people’s workshops, garages, old bicycle shops, car repair shops, etc.
Yup I don’t think they got a war mindset to the people thinking they can just steamroll everyone became 9f the propaganda everywhere.
On certain levels, some in Germany assumed the war was “over” as soon as late 1940 (west defeated, Britain will sue for peace) – so the never put the country’s economy and industry on a 100% total war footing in many regards until it was really too late.
Although, once the USSR and US are in … it’s never NOT too late.
I have played a lot of systems, I still rather play Wings of Glory. Just wish Ares would keep product in stock.
Must be annoying. What scale are the planes?

Awesome!
