Designed
by Friedemann de Pedro
World War 2 air combat game depicting the nighttime air raids of
British bombers hitting German cities.
As the head of the British Bomber Command, you plan the attacks
on Germany in order to undermine the morale of the civilian population.
Or as a General of the German Air Force (Luftwaffe), you defend
using your ace squadrons and organizing an effective civil defense.
The gameboard enables you to set up countless variations of these
historic events. You play as many nights as you wish - each night
takes 30-45 minutes to resolve.
Gameplay allows for easy entry into the action with some advanced
rules for the hearty wargamer. The game rules include weather conditions,
full moon/new moon bonuses and penalties, clouds and thunderclouds,
fog, flak, searchlights, balloon barriers, target markers, and much
more.
The British player secretly plots the course of the bomber while
the Mosquito acts as escort or decoy. The German player tries to
figure out where the bomber is going, making sure to efficiently
use the fuel to get as many hits on the bomber as possible.
