Hi Guys

Been playing Wings of War and was short of some ground targets and AA guns when I thought of Pendraken. Got some AA trucks and posted them on the WoW forums and they seem to be a nice crossover. In fact the ranges seem very compatible.

There are a couple of items missing for use in WoW and I was wondering if there would be any support for them here

  If you were interested in adding to the WW1 range there are a couple of things that would be useful to WW1 Air gamers that are not available elsewhere or hard to get and that would complement the current range

Obviously the winch truck -






but there would also be interest in AA machine guns. These are mostly lash up affairs with a standard gun on a trestle or convenient tree stump












The only real purpose build AA was the 1pdr Pom Pom - Germans used it as the Maxim Flak M14



Lastly, some downed pilots would be nice

Hope you don't mind these suggestions, does anyone have any others or comments?
Cheers

I would like to back up Kens requests, I am quit sure that if made they would be quickly picked up by Wings of War players

I was speaking to a WW1 reenactor who is familiar with the Vickers gun. Apparently the standard practice was to reverse the tripod when setting up for AA which gave the required angle. Lo and behold looking at the pic above that's exactly what they are doing  :-[


Hurrah
