Wings of Glory Miniature Game - Giants of the Sky: Kickstarter project to
start on March 10th
The countdown for Wings of Glory Miniature Game - Giants of the Sky, the new
Kickstarter project from Ares Games, has started: on March 10th, Ares Games
will launch the crowdfunding campaign to release the large WW1 bombers the
Handley-Page O/400 and the Zeppelin Staaken R.VI. The campaign will run
until April 2nd, with an initial funding goal of $20,000.
The two models are interesting from every point of view - historical,
visual, and gameplay. The British Handley Page O/400 was a huge Entente
bomber used to support ground troops on the Western Front and fly bombing
raids deep into enemy territory. The German Zeppelin Staaken R.VI was the
largest airplane ever to fight during World War 1, with a wingspan rivaling
a World War 2 Superfortress. Each of these colossal airplanes will be
featured in Wings of Glory in two different versions.
Pledge Levels
The Giants of the Sky Kickstarter project will have eight pledge levels. The
first one is the Rookie Level, targeted for new players. It includes
everything needed to start playing Wings of Glory: the WW1 Rules and
Accessories Pack and a selection of four of the best models available in the
game range (the Fokker Dr.I, Albatros D.V, Sopwith Camel, and Spad XIII).
Newcomers can combine the Rookie with the Entente or Central Powers Players
pledge levels, also getting one of the new big bombers.
The Entente Player pledge level includes one 1/144 Handley Page O/400 and
the Central Powers Player level, one Zeppelin Staaken R.VI. Both are painted
and assembled miniatures, complete with special gaming base, maneuver deck,
airplane card, management card, counters and rules.
For people wanting both of the new bombers, the Veteran pledge level
comprises one Handley-Page O/800 and one Staaken R.VI, while the Collector
pledge level offers four models - both bombers in their two versions. For
Veteran and Collector levels, there will be "Day One" Early Bird pledges
available for 24 hours after the launch of the project, offering a small
additional discount as a "thank you" to the initial supporters.
There will be also an exclusive pledge level for Retailers, which grants
special pricing for hobby games retailers. This pledge level offers twelve
1/144 Zeppelin Staaken R.VI and twelve 1/144 Handley Page O/400 miniatures
(six of each versions for both models), as well access to all the stretch
goals of regular backers.
The rewards for Rookie Pledge Level will ship immediately after the end of
the Kickstarter, while the new bombers are expected to deliver in October,
2015.
Rewards and Stretch Goals
The rewards of this Kickstarter project will not include exclusive
miniatures, as these models will become a permanent part of the game, and
any player must be able to purchase them through normal distribution after
the Kickstarter delivery. To thank the backers, the Kickstarter version of
these airplanes will have unique packaging, different from the normal
edition, with a "Limited Edition" certificate with each plane. Depending on
the success of the project, one or more additional items may be included in
this version.
A number of stretch goals to enhance the gameplay experience are planned for
the campaign, including special mission and game mats related to the models
presented; accessories such as deluxe laser-cut rulers and acrylic counters,
developed by our partners at Wings of Glory Aerodrome; and more.
The Wings of Glory Miniature Game - Giants of the Sky will be launched on
March 10th and will run until April 2nd. Get ready to take off!
