Wings of War is a game series which merges card and board game mechanics to recreate aerial combat.
World War I was the age of the "knights of the air." Aircraft were new, and their role as a weapon of war just being invented. By World War II, the machines were much more sophisticated, and more critical to the plans of an army general than ever before. World War II was a new age of aviation and a new age of warfare - and now, Wings of War goes to the beginning of this new epoch. This is the Dawn of War.
The WWII series of Wings of War is an easy, fun to play, fast and furious system which fans of Famous Aces and the rest of the Wings of War games will be able to start playing minutes after opening the box! New game mechanics support a simulation which must encompass planes with very different flight capabilities and firepower, while still keeping the flow of the combat. Dawn of War includes fighter planes from the first years of the war (1939-1941) - pilot a Spitfire, a Messerschmitt, a Hurricane and allows you to re-create dogfights, bombing missions, escorts, and endless other aerial combat situations set in World War Two. Up to 6 planes can fly with the contents of this set.
Each Wings of War set is a complete game for 2 to 4 players, which may be combined with additional sets, or with other copies of the same set, to play larger games.
In addition to the basic games, rules are included for altitude, ace pilots, bombing, photo recon., and strafing. Several combat mission scenarios are suggested.
