Eighth Air Force

A card-driven aerial combat game that covers European air operations from 1942–1945. Players field national fighter and bomber types, manage altitude and armament, and resolve fast-paced dogfights and escort or bombing missions. Includes six campaign scenarios spanning early U.S. daylight raids to late-war RAF night operations, plus historical operations such as the Dam Busters raid, the Stalingrad airlift, Schweinfurt raids, and attacks on V-weapon sites. Rules add jets, heavy cannon, and bomber mechanics and update the base ruleset; the base game is required to play.
