Wing Leader: Victories 1940-1942 (Second Edition)

A tabletop simulation of massed daylight air battles in the early years of World War II. One player leads bomber formations toward their targets, while the other commands fighters attempting to gain altitude and intercept them. The side-view map represents the raid’s path, with formations maneuvering vertically and end-to-end. Players use altitude, sunlight, clouds, and formation tactics to gain an advantage, divide forces, and protect or attack the bombers. The second edition includes updated rules, scenarios, player aids, aircraft data, counters, and a revised map and battle board.
