About the game

What you do in a play session

Skies Above the Reich puts you in command of a Luftwaffe squadron during World War II, facing off against the dreaded Allied B-17 bomber formations. Each mission is a tactical challenge: you must choose pilots, equipment, and strategies to shoot down as many bombers as possible while trying to keep your men alive for the next battles. The game blends dice rolling with strategic decisions, creating an intense and immersive experience. Campaigns can last from 6 to 60 missions, tracking the war's evolution and the increasing difficulty of combat. With basic and advanced modes, plus a two-player option, Skies Above the Reich is a solo wargame that will test your command and adaptation skills.
