## Description
Hey everyone, check out this add-on for those who already enjoy Duel in the Dark! The V1-Bunker introduces a new element for the German side: the V1 launch bunker at St. Pol. Think of it as a strategic spot to protect your flying missile, you know? This marker, the Wasserwerk (WW), enters the game along with the other German fighters, but pay attention: it's not secretly placed, which already gives your opponent a hint. Placing this beauty on the board costs the German player 1 Victory Point (VP), so you really need to consider if it's worth it. The key thing is that, as long as the WW is there, it protects a V1 in the takeoff hex against surprise attacks from Mosquitos. In other words, your rocket can take off peacefully without being shot down immediately. It's a detail that changes the defensive dynamic and adds an extra layer of tactics for those who like to plan every move. If you're into the WWII theme and want to spice up your Duel in the Dark games, this module is for you. It doesn't radically change the game, but it brings that touch of realism and challenge we love.
