Wild Blue Yonder

If you're a fan of World War II aerial combat and enjoy strategic card games, Wild Blue Yonder is a treat! This game is a true gem in GMT Games' Down in Flames series, bringing back and expanding upon the experience of classics like Rise of the Luftwaffe and Eighth Air Force, which had long been out of print. Released in 2017, it's a deluxe edition covering the European Theater of Operations (ETO) between 1940 and 1944.

Wild Blue Yonder is packed with content: it features a dozen full campaigns, over 200 detailed aircraft cards, plus all the necessary targets, resource sheets, and other components needed to dive headfirst into battles. And don't think they're just reprints! The campaigns have been revamped and improved, offering three distinct types: the traditional 'Land Campaigns,' the challenging 'Progressive Campaigns' (where you manage reinforcements and replacements over time, simulating the attrition of war), and 'Operations' focused on specific missions, like the famous Schweinfurt Raids. There's even a solitaire campaign for you to hone your skills when an opponent isn't available. All of this comes in a robust box, worthy of a respected wargame. Get ready to manage your hand of cards, plan your tactics, and dominate the skies of Europe!
