METACHESS
*MetaChess is a hybrid board game (designed by KC local and miniatures game nerd - Buddy Hanson) which blends classic chess rules with agnostic war-game style rules (a *meta game or game within a game if you will). Remove the engine from a high performance classic muscle car and install it into a blinged out contemporary tank, that is METACHESS in a nutshell.
Players can use thier own minis, mini bases just have to be under 2” in diameter (28mm, 32mm or larger size miniatures works great). Setup your team like a standard chess board with 8 identical minis for the pawns ('proletariat' is the Metachess term); matching pairs for your rook/knight/bishops (the 'aristocrats'); and generals or boss minis to represent King/Queen. And minis will be provided.

Fly the Unfriendly Skies!
Hop into your Sopwith Camel or Fokker D7 and fight for glory and honor in the skies over France in 1918.
The Entente players must photograph key objectives behind enemy lines in order to help the Generals on the ground to choose the right strategy and axis of advance. While they are at it, they need to clear the skies of the Central Powers' airplanes.
Using a unique card-based movement mechanism, Wings of Glory allows players to fly a WWI airplane to engage in aerial battles or reconnaissance or bombing missions with meticulously crafted 1/144 miniatures. This game will be a constant furball -- planes that get shot down will re-enter the game on the next turn.
