Storm Above the Reich

Get ready to step into the cockpit of an Fw190 in 'Storm Above the Reich,' a solitaire wargame that puts you in command of a Luftwaffe squadron. Your mission? Defend Germany's skies against the relentless daylight raids of the US Army Air Force's B-24 Liberator bombers during World War II. Each of your aircraft is represented by a stickered block, and you'll have to face the formidable enemy 'combat box' formations, a true tactical challenge.

This game, like its counterpart 'Skies Above the Reich,' offers a broad and engaging depiction of the desperate air war, covering the period from late 1942 to early 1945. The experience unfolds through a series of interconnected missions that form a complete campaign. Each mission can last about half an hour or more, while an entire campaign can stretch from 6 to an impressive 60 missions, ensuring plenty of replayability and depth.

And there's more: 'Storm Above the Reich' works as a standalone game, so don't worry if you don't own 'Skies Above the Reich.' But if you already have it or plan to get it, the two games are fully compatible! They share the same rules, and their components can be used interchangeably. Together, they expand your options with eight formation maps, six pursuit maps, and the presence of both B-17s and B-24s. In 'Storm,' you command a staffel of 18 Fw190s, with the option to augment it into a Sturmbocke staffel. If you combine it with 'Skies,' which brings a staffel of Bf109s, your air forces become even more imposing and varied. It's the perfect chance to dive into history and test your skills as an aviation ace!
