Not really. I've known about those guys for a very long time now. Their game is a combination card game/boardgame/miniatures game, and the models are representations only - they might as well be counters. They use pre-made 1/144-scale metal diecasts, and I take absolutely no joy in playing with toys I didn't build myself. Their balloons are cute, but wouldn't work with our system.

We did get a backhanded complement from them on one of their websites (or maybe it's in the rules - I don't remember): "This is a game, not a complex flight simulator", which could only refer to M&M/Triplane. It looks like fun, if you like simple boardgames. I don't - not for airplanes anyway.
