The Game Schedule for Sunday, August 26th:
1st Session, 3:00 pm:
Ted will dog fight with up to Five (5) other WWI aces in Wings of War !
In Wings of War each player is a crazy WWI ace performing daredevil flying stunts and trying to shoot down the enemy. Being shot might just damage your plane or send you down in flames. Don't worry, you can float down with a parachute, jump into a new plane, and re-join the fray. Each plane flies a little differently due to having a unique movement deck. This deck is used to plan your movement three moves in advance. Should you shoot ahead? Turn left? Perform an Immelman? There's a great element of trying to guess where your opponent(s) will be so you can position yourself for the kill. I expect Ted will probably play this with teams.
This is Ted's first time offering this game with gorgeous miniatures. They don't change the game materially but they do make it feel more like you're a kid gaming with your toys. Hooray!

There are different sets of "Wings of War" to buy, and Ted told me the one to buy if I buy just one, but I forgot what he said. I think I'd like to try playing this with my nephew.

Scott,
It depends on whether you want to get the miniatures or not. If you do want to get the minis, then "Burning Drachens" is the best box to get. It only is for two players, but you expand that with the minis which come with their own movement decks.
If you don't want the minis then I think the first box is probably the best. I think it's called Wings of War: Famous Aces.
