WW1 Wings of Glory Nieuport 16 Airplane Pack

Three new versions of the famous Nieuport 16 fighter are coming in the WW1 Wings of Glory line, featuring the airplanes used by Jean Navarre, called “Sentinel of Verdun” - the first French pilot to shoot down two enemy aircrafts in a day, and the first to be officially declared an ace; the famous “Escadrille La Fayette” – so called in honor of the French hero of the American Revolutionary War; and Henri De Guibert, French pilot honored as Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur after 19 years of service.

Wings of Glory is a fast-playing and easy to learn game system that uses cards and miniatures to represent airplanes and their maneuvers, allowing the players to fly with the main airplanes of WW1 and the most famous aces of the aviation. Players control one or more airplanes, engage their opponents in aerial duels, or try to accomplish a specific mission, such as recon, escort, or bombing.

The Nieuport 16 was an evolution of the Nieuport 11, reinforced and modified to fit a more powerful engine with a top speed of over 100 mph. It was armed with a single Lewis machine gun on its upper wing and, when used in balloon busting, with two sets of Le Prieur rockets. The Nieuport 16 is a great fit to use in play with the balloons Caquot M/Ae 800, releasing at the same time.

The WW1 Wings of Glory Nieuport 16 Airplane Packs include a ready–to–play model, painted and assembled, with all needed to play with the airplane: a special base, a flying stand, and a deck of Maneuver and skill cards.
