First off, I would like to thank all of you for the unbelievable support that I have been getting for these flight stands. Requests have been coming in from all over the world! Australia, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, the US, UK, South America, and here in Canada. It’s been keeping me very busy to say the least, but the daunting and monotonous task of putting them all together has been made easy with the welcome that you all have given the product.

Half of the stands are now gone! Thats 3000 flight stands and 9000 magnets!

Moving forward, the base set of stands are going to be 30.5 mm still available in a set of 100 with 300 magnets for $100 CAD plus shipping.

BUT!, available in the year to come will be the variable height stands that you may have seen in the video posted earlier. 30.5mm, 37mm, and 44mm. The set will still come with 100 stands and 300 magnets, but the price for these will be $150 CAD Plus shipping. The amount of stands that you would like at each length are completely up to you. From the 100 stands in the set, you can choose how many short, medium, or long length stands you want in your set. If you really need some input, I would go with 50 short, 30 medium, and 20 long, but all that depends on strategy really. There’s only 7 STR bombers in the initial setup, but depending on your strategy, there could be as many as 15-20 on the board by turn 3-4. I know chipping them out in an option, but I keep getting told that some don’t like chipping out the aircraft because they have them going in every which direction every turn. That’s essentially why we went with so many in a set. That, and the cats, dogs, or kids can get sticky fingers and walk off with a few ;).

Thank you again for all the support.

I don’t understand the anger that some have towards this set up. Ok yes you can argue the historical accuracy, but c’mon, at the end of the day you are playing A&A. Lets face it, we all know the standard moves, and how to counter them, so it all comes down to luck in the dice. All you do is wait around and wait for someone to make a mistake then pounce. New set ups bring in new strategies, which is the best part. Its a brand new game using parts you already have. No need to spend, sometimes $100’s of, dollars to get a new experience. Just have fun

Although I agree that this is a new experience playing A&A without spending for a new game, I don’t agree with everyone knowing the standard moves in Global during many 5 player group games. Opening strategies maybe, but after round 2 the board always looks different from game to game due to different philosophies players will incorporate no matter how experienced they are.

I did meant for it to read opening moves. Because no one knows what anyone will do after the opening moves, need I remind you (jiggy, jiggy, jiggy!!!)

Good day all. After a few years of having the idea, it has finally come to fruition.

Now available: Clear acrylic and engraved task force markers. The set come with six clear and engraved Task force coasters and six engraved red corresponding roundels (USA, UK, Russia, Japan, Germany, and Italy). They are available for $60 CAD shipped anywhere in the world.

Those look AWESOME! I am definitely in the market to by a set or two….

Quick Question: Will you also offer a 5-hit die for the Jet-Power tech in the 2nd Edition game?

Unfortunately we don’t have the resources to gamble on a 5th type of dice, we have to order 30,000 just to get the retail cost down to something reasonable. Maybe if we sell out and need a second run, we might look into it… but for now, you will need the regular dice for your jet fighters attacking at 5 or less.

If it really is a problem, grab a siler sharpie and put a dot on the 5 spot. If you dont like it in the end, it comes off with and alcohol wipe.
