Does anyone have the map and counters to cardboard WiF 1.0?

It would be kinda interesting to compare those pictures to what we've got now.

Patrice might depending on the scale you want.

Not me, I don't have that.
But I suspect they looke 99% the same as WiF 4/5

Hey! There's a trip down memory lane - that's what I started with. Fortunately Planes In Flames came out just after I bought the game so only played with those "generic" counters for a very short time.

Wasn't there something to be said for the generic counters though? Not having zillions of counters cluttering up the board later in the game?

Playing with the generic air counters was indeed much faster! That German TAC 5 using a D6 cleared many way in those days...

Each to their own I guess. Personally I prefer the chrome, but recognise there is a trade-off in workload.

Here's a little pic showing some of the Asian map (don't seem to be able to find the European), the rule book and a smattering of CW and (I think) Soviet counters.

Orange was neutral back in the day.

Ah yes, that's right. At what point in the game's evolution did rail lines appear? Before that there was "strategic movement", which IIRC meant you could move any distance from one city to another on the same land mass.

You're gonna make me get out my original maps and take snapshots aren't you....[:D]

A little nostalgia

Sorry that came out blurry.

Rail lines was introduced with Africa/Asia Aflame in 1993. These sets contained maps of Africa and Asia that connected to the European map. As I recall, on these maps strategic movement was only possible along rail lines.

Really? I didn't notice [;)]

I think I see a 1(3)2 HQ there!

I remember the old days when HQ's couldn't move during mud, but you could transport them by ATR, until that rule got nixed, and they finally re-did HQ units. The first unit allowed to be stacked as a 3rd in the hex, I think.

All the planes had the same range...

Memories....

I bought my copy of WiF 1.0 as a teenage D&D geek in the mid-1980s who was dilettantishly exploring other areas of the gaming world. I'm Australian, and there was obviously a lot of buzz surrounding WiF in local gamerdom at the time. My interest in gaming faded after I finished high school, until around 1997 when I developed a late-blooming obsession with WW2 (activated by watching The World at War). It naturally occurred to me to brush the dust off that old WW2 game I had and, this being the dawn of the internet age, to look online to see if anyone still played it. And what do you know - not only had the game blossomed gloriously over the intervening decade-and-a-bit, but ADG was working on a computer game version! Due out next year!

Hee hee, you funny.

[Froonp]

I have found this. This must come from some WiF Vassal gamebox.

[paulderynck]

Ah yes. I remember it well... Boy! that's ugly compared to what Steve and ADG have done since the good old days! (Which in fact are neither good nor old.)
