I was browsing through the 1/600 Air Wargaming Groups.io forum, looking for Bag the Hun alternatives, when I found these fast play rules for WW2 bomber missions, aptly titled Bombers Over Germany.
They look really good and although hex based they seem designed for formations of aircraft, with relatively large numbers of bombers and fighters on the table. They are definitely not over complicated but still have plenty of detail including a rather nifty critical hit system. I think they are potentially great and ideal for multiplayer games.
And they're Free!
The Tumbling Dice models used to illustrate the rulebook are beautifully painted and based on homemade wire and hex base stands, so nothing too complicated to replicate, apart from the paint job. I also already have some suitable models in the lead pile but would need to get some more to run a full game, so another excuse to order some new shiny things.
An exciting project for 2021!?

ReplyDeleteI think I may well give it a try..just need a shedload of B17's.
ReplyDeleteI do have enough stuff for the Battle of Britain, however, and they're stats for the planes in the rules...
