Description

This is a two-player (and solitaire) card game depicting the RAF vs the Luftwaffe at the Battle of Britain, 1940. It is a strategy game when each player flies a single, historically rated fighter in single or campaign game settings.

In this second edition, two new optional rules have been included: (1) Short Burst Option, and (2) 20mm Cannon Bonus. These options may be used with this game and any other in the Battle over Britain series.

In addition to the standard warplane counters (ID #11-26), several additional warplanes have been included in this edition, along with some special rules concerning their use. These planes (ID #110-125) will allow gamers to play design- your-own scenarios between British and German fighters occurring after the Battle of Britain, to the end of 1942. See pages 37 for details.

New planes include Spitfire VC, Hurricane IIB, Fairey Swordfish, Bleinheim IV, Me-109G, Fw-190a, and He-111, allowing you to create exciting scenarios occurring after the Battle of Britain.

Overall, 32 plane counters are included.
