About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're the type who loves feeling the wind in your face (or at least imagining you're in a biplane cockpit), Wings of Glory: WW1 Rules and Accessories Pack is your passport to the skies of 1914. Heads up: this isn't the full game with miniatures, but rather the essential core system for those looking to master WWI aerial combat. It serves as the rules and accessories hub for anyone who owns or plans to get the airplane packs.
The real strength here lies in the depth of the system. The pack includes a beautiful 40-page color booklet covering everything from basic to advanced rules, plus plenty of optional rules for those seeking extra challenge. You'll find all the essentials to manage maneuvers and damage: damage decks (A through D), target cards, trenches, machine guns, and even anti-aircraft defenses. It also comes with airplane consoles and rulers to ensure every flight maneuver is precise.
The game is an aerial combat system that allows for everything from intense duels between two pilots to complex reconnaissance, escort, or bombing missions. With simultaneous action selection, the tension is constant, as you must anticipate your opponent's move while planning your own trajectory. It's a technical simulation that maintains the fast pace of a great card and miniature game. If you want to recreate the golden age of aviation with fidelity and robust rules, this pack is the mandatory starting point for your wargaming collection.
