There are four of each counter with some in numerous colour schemes. Aircraft that have variable sweep wings are presented in full forward and full back. This means there are over 350 counters in this set (over 600 with the Straight and Diagonals). 

As more aircraft are drawn they will be added to the pack as well as SAM systems at no extra cost. I have also started a European pack and a Second World War pack which will be seperate products.

This is not a ruleset.

These look great. Do any aircraft come in Arab or Israeli markings?

Thanks Simon

Hello!

Thank you for the kind words!

The aircraft in this pack are in Russian and American markings. There are also some North Korean and North Vietnamese options.

The Arab Israeli pack is coming and will be a separate product because of the big number of new aircraft. I have just started laying out the counters for that pack so it should be out soon.

Great I really look forward to them! Will the set go back to the early period in 1948 and 1955?

Cheers

I forgot to ask whether I'd be able to treat myself to these for this Christmas?

Hello!

It will go all the way back to 1948! But! It will first focus on the Six Day War onwards, with a limited range of earlier aircraft. These will be expanded in free updates. Expect Spitfires, Mustangs and B-17s with the initial release with more coming after.

As for before Christmas I have kept people waiting long enough so I am aiming at getting that and a European pack out too.

Many thanks for the interest!

Hello Simon,

Sorry for getting back to you late. I am just working through the markings. I don't know if you are a Facebook user but I have added some images on the Facebook group Aerial Wargames.

What period are you most interested in? I was going to do a pay what you want two pack to advertise which will come first.

Many Thanks,

Ben

Hi, i purchased the counters and really pleased with how they are looking. Is there a possibility to make them with cut marks, or a small black border. So it is easier to cut them out?
Mnay thanks in advance.

Thank you! That is a great idea. I am working steadily on some more packs, but I will revisit these and included that in future releases. With work it is taking time to get all these things in order but I will add this to the list. Thank you for the support.

It is a little way off but that is on the cards. I was toying with releasing a Mirage III and a Hawker Hunter as a free taster for the Arab-Israeli Pack so I will make sure to do that and get it out for you. It will be a pay what you want and the full set will follow.

I certainly will be adding that aircraft. Sadly I have not had the time to update the pack but more aircraft will be coming.

Many thanks!

I’ve just noticed a small typo that I hope you’ll correct soon in an update. The AA-10 Alamo missiles are listed as R-23. They should be R-27. Thank you!

Thank you Michael! That was supposed to be corrected in the last update but I didn't upload the file. It will be updated with the next update along with some new aircraft and if I get them looking good some ground targets. I also plan to expand the weapon counters.

Thank you! I am glad you are enjoying the counters. There is more on the way with a free update to this pack. I am just taking a break from drawing some today, shouldn't be to much more to do.

I am happy that more counters are coming... I don't know if it's too much to hope for but I hope you will also consider other time periods like WWI and WWII in a not too distant future. I am an avid collector of aircraft counters because I just don't have room to collect miniatures and your counters are by far some of the best... They are #2 on my top 5 list of favorite aircraft counters.

Thank you! Well I have some WW2 stuff drawn and I will add to it once this pack is updated. WW1 is something I would like to do but is a long way off. WW2 and a European jet pack will be coming next.

Since there is no other way to communicate with you the publisher I have no choice but to make my request here... if you make a version of this product with a white background, I will instantly purchase it. I love the "Sky" background but I also would like a set with a "white" background; please consider doing this for your next products.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
