A Wings of Glory group in Santa Barbara, California

About Wings of Glory

An example Wings of Glory WWI game Wings of Glory is a tabletop air combat game using 1:144 scale miniature aircraft along with cards to simulate movement and damage.

The basic rules are very simple and take only a few minutes to learn, making it extremely easy and fun for new players to pick up.

There are also advanced rules and historical scenarios to appeal to the more experienced gamer.

How card movement works in Wings of Glory Because of the models' small size and their unique card-based movement, Wings of Glory doesn't take much space to play... a typical coffee shop table has plenty of room for a duel!

How To Get Started

There are WWI and WWII versions of Wings of Glory available. Here in Santa Barbara, we mainly fly the WWI version because we think it's the most fun!

A basic Duel Pack contains everything you need to get started (two aircraft models, cards, rulebook & accessories) and runs about $25 through Amazon. It will deliver countless hours of extremely fun WWI dogfighting action, and can easily be expanded from there to include two seaters, bombers, balloons and more!

But you don't need to buy anything to try out the game - just come to one of our meetups, and we'll be happy to let you take a couple of our planes out for a spin!

Where to Play

Our group primarily meets as part of the Santa Barbara Wargaming group on Tuesdays from 6:00-10:00pm and Saturdays from 11:00am-5:00pm.

The SBWG group was established in 2010 and plays at a private residence in downtown Santa Barbara with a large and comfortable dedicated gaming space. New players are most welcome to drop by and check us out! Address available via the Santa Barbara Wargaming Facebook group. Just contact us and we'll be happy to get you playing!

We also play on an ad hoc basis at other locations around town.
