Those aircraft look lovely with the stands.
Normally, 1/72 aircraft look a bit huge in my experience but these do look the part.
Happy battling.

Hi, Chris,
yes, it was a bit of a "marriage" of a game, as indicated.
Re; aircraft. I know a lot of people use 15mm planes with 20mm figures & , of course, that looks good as it gives a kind of forced perspective that works nicely.
I like using 1/72 planes which I think works, as long as you make the flight stands quite high. This also changes the perspective.
We don't do any fancy aerial battling so the planes fly in (on passing a command roll) & unless interfered with by AA, they strafe & bomb their chosen target via more dice rolling, & fly home- all at the same "altitude" stipulated by the flight stand.
TBH modern wargaming doesn't have the panache of serried ranks or colourful uniforms IMO so the use of planes lifts the whole game. Believe it or not but I'm thinking of acquiring a B-26 (which did tactical bombing) for the "look".
Yes, typical megalomaniac wargamer.
