This is kind of a diorama. A miniatures game with WWI acft. Fun to collect the various acft in 144 scale. Chris

Neat game, never seen it before. Love the aircraft. They seem very well detailed for such small scale and they are very well painted. I spy Udet's Fokker D-7, Bishop's SE-5, Fonck's Spad 13. The map of the battleground is quite nice, too. There appears to be a pentagon shaped fort in a couple of the shots, a standard French design of the period, such as Ft. Douaumont at Verdun. Really cool looking. -- Al

Thanks Al, it's a fun game and the aircraft are well done. There's a pilot's name with each acft, as you mentioned Bishop, Udet, Kempf, etc. THere's also a WWII game and similar with Star Wars but I think the WWI acft are more fun to collect. The DH.2 is my favorite. Chris

Moe, you and me both. I even painted the aircraft in different liveries. Also had Hit The Beach, Broadside, and the ACW game, Battle Cry! that MB did. -- Al

I was telling my son about that game a few days ago. We played it endlessly. Always tough to strafe those airfields. {sm2} Was tempted to buy it on EBay for memorabilia. My cousins had the MB Civil War and Broadsides games. Chris

AL , thanks for the MEMORIES! :tongue: As Bob Hope would sing.

Ya' I had all the Milton Bradley board games.
Many times when there was no one to play the game with, I used the game pieces as toys in their own right.
Fun times!

Ha! I also painted and played with the Battle Cry! playing pieces, as well as flying the Dogfight aircraft around the house when not actually playing the game. I loved the Broadside ships with all those masts/sails. I had fleet battles all the time. Those were great games. -- Al
