I'm thinking about purchasing Wing Leader by GMT

HI again,

This looks good and the reviews on the geek a very positive. I'd enjoy hearing any opinions.

I usually love his games (and his reviews of other people's games are scathingly hilarious), but the side scroller concept doesn't fly for me. Perhaps I saw too many side scrolling arcade games in the early 80's to even give it an honest try.

I have not played it, but it looks excellent! [:)]

It´s curious but I have a similar dilemma tomorrow (pay-day)...

It´s either "Elusive Victory", "Bomber Command", "Enemy Coast Ahead: The Dambuster Raid" or "Wing Leader". All are from GMT Games, but only two are really solo frendly (Enemy Coast and Wing Leader). That dosent mean you can´t play the rest solo, actualy Bomber Command has some adaptive solo rules for download somewhere. "Enemy Coast" seems to have real good reviews as to solo play, very imersive but a bit liniear and also a new "Enemy Coast Ahead: Doolittle Raid" is on P500 and due mid this year. "Red Storm" is also on P500 this year!

So, the dilemma, Elusive or Wing Leader for me [8|]

Here´s a intro and gameplay for Elusive Victory by Jeremy Antley. So you get an idea what it´s all about. I love that map![;)]

I did order 'Wing Leader'... Reviews are good. Side scroll looks intriguing to me; something different. A nice mix of planes and scenarios plus a campaign coming....



Thanks for posting about 'Enemy Coast Ahead'

I didn't know about it; looks like a nicely detailed game.

I really enjoyed this sessions report for 'Enemy Coast Ahead'... seemed to have it all; planes lost over the channel,bombs missing targets, bombs hitting targets but bomber unable to pull away and hitting a cliff. Unexpected searchlights, Planes not returning home.

I've Enemy Coast Ahead: The Dambusters Raid and I can vouch for it, specially if you like games that provide good narrative. The art is top notch.
Can't wait for the Enemy Coast Ahead: The Doolittle Raid.

The concept does seem odd..but it really does work..great solo aswell.
