Wings of War Series – Boardgame ReviewPaul Glasser with Gerald D. Swick | December 19, 2008 | 2 comments | Print | E-mail Competitive WoW players run campaign games, keeping track of victories and defeats with a leader board. At GenCon, some players entered combat wearing reproduction leather flying helmets! And of course, in the heat of the moment, everybody added his voice to the crescendo of machine-gun fire—dakka dakka dakka dakka! In short, these are fun, fast-playing games, less complex than old favorites like Blue Max or Richtofen’s War. Returning safely to your aerodrome—let alone becoming an ace—requires good planning to second-guess your opponents. Most scenarios can be played in half an hour or less, giving you plenty of opportunities to hone your skills. Tags: Aerial Combat, wargame, World War I

I have really enjoyed this game–especially with the miniature planes. I’ll admit that I like Blue Max much better for the precision, but this is a great alternative for getting new people involved, especially children and people who aren’t so sure about “war” games.

This game is great 4-8 of us play teams one night a month at the local gaming store. In some ways it’s fairly easy, but hard in a fun way.
