Thanks for all the replies, I'm got quite a list now haha. Rainer One of the Leary books caught my eye last time I browsed amazon, can't remember which, will check them out. CL I was hoping 40k wouldn't come up, once I read one of them I need to read a lot more, just to know more about its universe....

Scifi space battle novels whats your favorites?

I've just ordered book 5 of "Vatta's War" by Elizabeth Moon, this is one of my favorite series. Funny enough I started reading this because the first book "Trading in Danger" sounded like it wouldn't have any space battles. The other being "Dread Empire's Fall" by Walte...

Thinking about this makes my head hurt, I'm glad I'm not the one who makes the decision :p I've not done the final version of the FM2 Wildcat. When I do, that'll bring the total list to 80 aircraft. If anything else needs to get added at this point, something else will have to come off. (which means...

I can't make up my mind which way to go. Did this come up during play testing? The time limit sounds good, it still lets you specialize on both A-36 and P51B doesn't it? Maybe give the normal +3 to the Bf109E and +1 to other variant within the time limit, max +3 per aircraft (or could only specializ...

I did post a question but I figured I'd get the answer when I get MTO so I can wait.

Hi I haven't played any VBAM campaign yet but thought I throw in my ideas for you guys to shoot at, not sure if its been thought of before. Have a fighter class based turn around time, a carrier can ready per turn 1/2 capacity worth of light fighters - lots of tiny jabs 1/3 capacity worth of medium ...

Same website as before but about the flying tigers this is a mock fight between 339 Buffalo (I think) and P40 (early model) http://www.warbirdforum.com/dogfight.htm " Apparently the Buffalos were faster than the Japanese fighters and could out run and dive them but not to the extent of the P-40...

from http://freespace.virgin.net/john.dell/seafire.htm Seafire as a naval fighter was its poor endurance of only 90 minutes. To keep 12 hours of fighter cover airbourne over a fleet would take at least 8 launches and recoveries per aircraft kept airbourne. This compares with only 3 launches and reco...

You know, if you keep this up, I might just have to shanghai you into playtesting. :wink: I don't mind that, I don't mind that much at all :lol: MarkG88 I was surprised at both the account of the P-36 (casual info all says its hopelessly obsolete) and FM-2 I've never thought of Grumman aircraft as ...
