Alexander… I was really impressed by your unboxing. The best of my air war games usually contain DVG games like “Phantom Leader”, “Hornet Leader” and “Apache Leader”. Outside of “B-17, Queen of the Skies”, and “Amerika Bomber” I don’t usually take much stock in air games. What I found interesting was the mechanics, the production quality and tactical nature. I’d like to get “Front Line Ace” as well. Will put this on my BUY LIST. Keep up the great work.

Ahoy-hoy, Grant – By digging through your archives I have become intrigued by the Wing Leader series. Do you have a preference or recommendation on where to dive in?
Supremecy looks to have been a reimplementation of Victories (First Edition), whereas Victories (Second Edition) is a reworking of the system as a whole, which includes the dropping of the mounted map, which seems like a bit of a bummer; I am a newcomer to war gaming and have been spoiled by all the mounted maps.
If you had to choose just one Wing Leader to play and explore, what would it be?
