Just wanted to mention another place to play online, which probably won’t be going AA50 anytime soon (so if you want a place to play Revised for a while, it’d fit the bill): the IAAPA, which can be found at axisandallies.net
This is one of the oldest A&A clubs around, and these folks are so old school that most of the gaming there is still 2nd edition! That’s right, Revised is cutting edge at the IAAPA. However, don’t be too quick to dismiss them, they have some very good players including some very good Revised players. I’ve played in a number of their Revised tournaments (they have three per year) and have never made it to the finals.

surely he just painted the planes with metallic paint :wink:

I never thought of that. It looked like he did that on the decks of the VC’s also then.

Actually what our group is doing to our navy planes and Carriers is putting a very small strip of magnetic tape you can buy in a roll and cut to size. One side is adhesive but we add glue to avoid any edge curling. It doesn’t take much - especially a washer type magnet - because all you are doing is keeping the plane from falling off.
We put a small strip down the belly of the plane. And we put a small patch on the top of the carrier. Its totally hidden when the planes are on it. Saves the work and trouble of drilling and iserting mag wire or metal down the centers.

Nice! Good to know that it works. I sat in Hobby Lobby looking at that for a good 20 minutes, it comes on what looks like a roll of tape. But, it looked so flimsy I just didn’t think it would have the strength to hold the planes on the deck.
Thanks for the confirmation OldSalty! I didn’t really feel like drilling out all my planes.
