## Description
Hey board game fanatics! Ready for another dive into World War II with 'Duel in the Dark: Baby Blitz'? This expansion supercharges the base game, throwing us into 1944 when the tide of war wasn't looking so good for Germany. But don't count them out just yet! The Luftwaffe pulls together its best assets, like the He177 'Greif' bomber (think 'griffin', get it?), to hit London hard. Meanwhile, the Allies are pounding German cities, with the RAF Bomber Command in full swing, especially over Hamburg and Berlin. 

'Baby Blitz' introduces a brand-new board to simulate Western England, the feared V1 ('flying bomb' that scared everyone), the He219 'Mosquito-Killer' fighter-bomber to give the British Mosquitoes a headache, British ground radar, and even reinforcements of Mosquito bombers and a new attack 'stream'. The cool part is you can program start times for the V1 and the He177, adding an extra layer of strategy and surprise. It's for those who enjoy the strategic and thematic feel of wargames, with that taste of aerial combat and bombing simulation. Get your dice and tactics ready, because the war rages on!
