RAF

Play a solitaire simulation of the Battle of Britain on a cardstock map of southern England showing airfields, industrial sites and ports. Use card decks for Events, Attacking Forces and suspected targets while managing radar warnings, weather and the Observer Corps. Place British, Commonwealth, Polish and Czech squadrons into daily patrols, then decide which German raids to intercept without knowing full enemy strength or target until cards are revealed. The game system automates the Luftwaffe’s coherent bombing campaign; turns represent one day at Gruppen and Squadron scale. Scenarios cover shorter engagements up to the full campaign, with playtimes from about three to ten hours.
