Here’s all of the info:

Camaiore, Italy – February 07, 2012 – To make easy to get started on Wings of Glory WW1, Ares Games will release a Rules and Accessories Pack that will include everything needed to start playing the WW1 version of the game system. Airplane miniatures are not included, however – the pack must be combined with two or more Airplane Packs or Special Packs – each featuring a miniature and its maneuver deck – or with a Starter Set.

Players will find all WW1 rules – Basic, Standard, Advanced, Optional and the ones to use with special models, such as multi-engine bombers and balloons, and weapons (rockets and incendiary bullets). The pack will also feature four decks of Damage Cards (A, B, C, D), Target, Trench, Machine Gun, Anti Aircraft Guns and Bomb cards, four airplane consoles, two rulers and counters.

“We decided to publish this Rules and Accessories Pack to provide a complete starting point to our range. This will benefit both new players and those fans who already own miniatures and sets from the ‘Wings of War’ brand. This compendium combines all existing rules of the WW1 game system, as well its cards and counters. Gamers will be able to start playing with the first Wings of Glory WW1 release, the Bombers Special Packs, and also to play with all the Airplane Packs and Special Packs that will come in the future. The rules are also compatible with all the existing Wings of War products that players already own”, said Christoph Cianci, CEO of Ares Games.

The Rules and Accessories Pack will be released in April, just after the arrival of the Bombers Special Packs (Caproni Ca.3 and Gotha G.V). The first WW1 Wings of Glory Airplane Packs are planned to be available at the same time as the Rules and Accessories Pack, and will feature the models Fokker E.III, Halberstadt D.III, Morane-Saulnier and Airco D.H.2.
