Description: Players will fly one of more WW1 aircraft using the amazingly attractive miniatures produced by Nexus. Fighters, 2 seaters and bombers clash in the skies over Europe.
The Friday night scenario will pit each group of players trying to shoot down the other's observation balloon. Players will decide who stays around to protect their balloon and who
goes for the enemy target. Ground units near each balloon also offer protection but be careful! Planes look a lot alike to gunners on the ground. The game will take 10 minutes to
learn and is a fast rendition of air to air combat. Scenario two will be 'The Bomber Always Gets through" as one side will have a couple of bombers from the recent "Flight of the
Giants" expansion, as they try and penetrate enemy airspace, drop their ordnance, and return home. The defending side tries to stop them. Fast, fun, and deadly! Rules: Click Here
