The compatable maps would be interesting. Having a airplane duel inside of a mall. Hehehehe.

I believe the Maps are for the ACES game.
Since the maps are designed for the ACES Bases, they may be compatible with HC.

Yea, they are designed for aces. A mall? I don't think they were around in 1937 and if they were they would not be big enough for a plane battle.

I was giving you guys trouble :) I'm not that dense....usually...

Ok... I'm just thinking realistically. An inside battle would be cool, but would be hard to do realistically.

Well you can just pretend they are remote controlled planes some little kids set loose on the unsuspecting mass.

True, They could be remote control planes with a full arsenal.

Aces game could be played on HC maps whether or not they are "period" is my guess. It doesnt have to be a mall, it could be a pulp villians lair, or a shipping companies main HQ. or... use your imaginations... and many maps could be unchanged

just my guess

I can think of lots of maps. I might even try to make my own maps once I see what a real one is like.

Well the cool thing about the plane duels is that, as someone else had mentioned, you can use a sheet of plexiglass over some terrain and have a cool looking aerial battle. maybe do that over an Aces battle on the ground below. Could get interesting...

Hmm... Not a bad idea. I think this would be fun to do. Yes, it could get interesting.

the plexiglas thing was inspired by what I saw posted online from Wizkids demos last summer at the major cons...

I will post pics as i finish some of the boards...

rapier- I was thinking of making the plexiglass board also. what are you planning on doing for terrain..? Do we know the scale of the planes...?

They're based on the Ral Partha/Ironwinds models...but I dont think there really was a firm scale for them. You'll probably just have to eyeball things. Considering the pulp genre it's based, its probably better if they ARENT set to a firm scale around them. Massive skylines/buildings with comparitively tiny planes next to them, just seems more in genre :)

The problem with scale for terrain is perspective.
Stuf fon the ground can be any scale, depending on how high the planes are supposed to be flying. But Terrain that interferes with the planes should be scaled to look right.

I'm constructing a couple of building tops for terrain to fly around.
