The World War II version of the fan favorite!
What is our favorite mini in the first series (in terms of playability and looks)
mine is the Japanese Zero Tadashi Kaneko (Zero with green spots)
a close second is the F4F-3 wildcat/martlet Alan F. Black (greyish-blue one)
Not the strongest of the 3, not by a long shot but it still looks cool.
My only real gripe about the minis is that some planes are slightly more powerful than others, in a 1 on 1 situation why would you bring the weaker of the 3 minis?
All I want for Christmas is my own AVATAR FFG!

I'll go with Galland's Bf109 -- not only because I met him once, but because that mini will Annoy the Disney Corporation.... >:)

Why will it annoy Disney? Fill us in!
I like the F4F-4, of course the Spitfire with blue/grey cammo looks sweet as well.

Galland's Bf109 is also my favorite one...
And the Vybral's Spitfire.

Because of that :
Tuesday night my gaming group will start the WW II game after we fly our WW I aces. As before Im choosing based on the color scheme and for me Vybrals Spitfire is the one. Thats how I chose my Belgian Camel.
Its the groups first try at the system as we waited for the miniatures release. Have I picked wrong? As in did I not pick the Snipe or D VII again?

One word of advice: DO NOT try head-on passes against Me109s, or anything else with C-rate damage.
The SO and I played _Dow_ once -- once. She had a Spitfire; I had a 109. We went head-on. My first damage draw: 8, 8, 1 -- exactly enough to kill the Spit.
I haven't been able to convince her to play again. :P

OK, I get the hatchet in his right hand, that's intimidating, but what the hell is in his left hand? A fog horn? Why is he wearing flippers? And what's up with his torso? Looks like it's made out of a flattened soccer ball.
Fog horns, flippers and a squashed soccer ball aren't exactly what I'd call fearsome.
And that's either one helluva cigar band on his stoggie there, or he forgot to take the wrapper off altogether.
Young, Rodger W., Private, 148th Infantry, 37th Infantry Division (the Ohio Buckeyes) born Tiffin, Ohio, 28 April 1918 died 31 July 1943, on the island of New Georgia, Solomons, South Pacific, while singlehandedly attackingdestroying an enemy machine-gun pillbox. His platoon had been pinned down by intense fire from this pillbox Private Young was wounded in the first burst. He crawled toward the pillbox, was wounded a second time but continued to advance, firing his rifle as he did so. He closed on the pillbox, attackeddestroyed it with hand grenades, but in so doing he was wounded a third timekilled.
His boldgallant action in the face of overwhelming odds enabled his teammates to escape without loss; he was awarded posthumously the Medal of Honor.
Well, I am not too sure why he is fat looking, but in his hand is an axe and a pistol.
In his mouth is a cigar. Galland loved smoking so he made Micky Maus smoke.

Thanks for the advice- how about Zeroes? Looks like the axis players all picked the yellow nosed 109 and the camo zero.
It will be interesting to see if we tend to have theater based dogfights once we get flying.

A pistol, what!? Was it from a Spanish Conquistador? 
That thing looks like it'd fire ping-pong balls.

I'm wondering if Galland wasn't one of the original writers for The Simpsons along with Conan O'Brien. 'Cause that mouse looks more like the mouse from The Simpsons Itchy & Scratchy.
What about Erich Hartman? Didn't he fly an Emil?

Remember, it's a german attempt at an american cartoon. Whadarya gonna do? <shrug>
Hartmann didn't fly an Emil, at least not in combat with JG52, to which he was posted in October of 1942. We'll have to wait for a future expansion for his Gustavs.
You can teach monkeys to fly better than that!

It's been a while since I've last read The Blond Knight of Germany. I couldn't remember when he got started, but that guy had talent in the air.

It is hard to actually balance the game when you have so few planes and the question is if the planes really should be balanced anyways?
The real war wasn't balanced. Me262 was a lot better plane than a P51 but the americans had a lot more P51 and therefor had the edge.
If they just releases planes that are similar they will just repeat the misstake from WW1 where they released the Snipe early even though it saw very little combat, planes like the Me 163 really had a lot more combat. The Snipe was a great plane but they should have balanced the Fokker EVII with the Spad XIII instead since they really were the arch rivals late in WW1.
Now it seems like they are trying to release much used planes that fits historcaly better together instead and that is good. There are other ways of balancing scenarios than to have planes that performs identical.

I agree. I would much rather play scenarios that are fun than have dogfights where every plane is equal. As much accuracy as possible is what I would like to see.
