About the game
What you do in a play session
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!
