Andrea Angiolino dit:The official press release. Feel free to tell around. All the best, Andrea - - - Ares Games reaches an agreement with Andrea Angiolino e Pier Giorgio Paglia to publish the game "Wings of Glory" The best selling game of WWI and WWII aerial combat comes back with a new name Camaiore, Italy – September 1, 2011 - Ares Games, a Tuscany-based games publisher recently established, announces an agreement with Andrea Angiolino and Pier Giorgio Paglia, the authors of the best selling game that recreates aerial combat during the WWI and WWII, formerly published with the name "Wings of War". Ares Games will publish the game under a new brand, "Wings of Glory". Wings of Glory will be published with a new rulebook, while maintaining compatibility with the previous Wings of War products already in the market. "We are happy to be partnering with Andrea and Pier Giorgio to bring this wonderful game system to market." said Christoph Cianci, CEO of Ares Games, "Thousands of fans worldwide will be pleased to know that their planes and maneuver cards from Wings of War will be compatible with the new Wings of Glory." Initially, Ares Games will focus on developing new miniatures for the game, but also plans to release new starter sets. "This game has a very strong and loyal fan base around the world, which gave and will surely continue to give a great help to the success of our game with their support and creativity. They have high expectations of it, in spite of several attempts to imitate it with other settings and chrome," stated Andrea Angiolino, co-creator of the game. "We chose to partner with Ares Games because we believe they understand our game, and that they will take care of the wishes of its fans, as well as be respectful of its creators." The first Wings of Glory products to be released will be four airplanes for the WWII game series: the American P40, the Russian Yak-1, the Japanese Ki-61 and the Italian Re-2001 Falco. Ares Games will publish a Starter Set with these four models, containing the introductory rules and all other elements needed to start play. The complete schedule of the next releases will be announced soon. With this announcement, Ares Games now publishes two important games from Italian creators that have achieved international recognition. In July, Ares Games aquired the rights from Sophisticated Games to publish the award-winning board game "War of the Ring", based on the J.R.R.Tolkien's trilogy, "The Lord of the RingsTM", and created by Roberto Di Meglio, Francesco Nepitello and Marco Maggi. A new edition of the game, in English, will be available this Fall, with other language editions forecasted for Spring 2012.
C'est une très bonne nouvelle pour les fans de Wings of War, car beaucoup d'entre-nous se demandait ce qu'allait devenir ce jeu. Espérons qu'ils ne se focalisent pas sur la WWII.
J'ai pas tout suivi, n'étant plus passé sur le Le Cirque Volant depuis un bon moment (oui je sais, j'ai honte ) : pourquoi une telle reprise ? Ca ne se vendait plus ? La société avait des problèmes ?
Quoiqu'il en soit je me réjouis de ce nouveau livret de règles, même si j'aimerais que le style de jeu WWII soit adapté à nos figs 1ère GM : manoeuvres à différentes vitesses possibles, format des "tableaux de bord", gestion des dégâts... j'en suis au point où je joue mes escadrilles de Fokker et de Spad avec le matos de Dawn of War. Me manque juste des packs de cartes...
The first Wings of Glory products to be released will be (...) the American P40, the Russian Yak-1
PS : tant que je te tiens Dod, j'ai une question perso : le Fokker DRI existait en livrée rouge complète (contrairement à la version semi camouflée que l'on trouve dans le Revised Deluxe Set) ou il s'agissait du modèle exclusif de Von Rischtoffen ?

L'idée, c'était justement que les avions de la première guerre mondiale étaient tout pourris, tournaient mal, réagissaient moins bien que des avions plus performants et plus flexibles.
cammat04 dit:Salut, Savez vous les différences de règle qu'il pourrait y avoir ? Ou cela sera négligeable ?
Des dires de l'un des créateurs sur BGG, les différences sont négligeables :
Andrea Angiolino dit:No really main changes. A different organization of rules that introduces a simplified basic set, a few different effects for some rules as fire damage and height advantages, a different count for altitude (from 1 instead than 0), the introduction of rookies besides the aces...
