Wings of War: Burning Drachens

Get ready to take to the skies and relive the aerial combat of World War I with Wings of War: Burning Drachens! This is the third installment in the Wings of War series and brings some of the most iconic aircraft of the era to your table, such as the Nieuport 17-23, the Albatros D.III, and the Pfalz D.III/D.IIIa. If you enjoy simulating historical dogfights, this game is for you.

Burning Drachens doesn't just stop at new aircraft; it adds spice with optional altitude rules, anti-aircraft guns, and even machine guns. For those seeking an even richer and more varied experience, the game proposes new rules that deepen the simulation of aerial combat without overcomplicating the basic system familiar from other games in the collection. The great thing is that it works perfectly on its own, but if you want to supercharge your games, you can mix its components with other sets in the series to create epic scenarios.

The targets here go beyond enemy planes. Prepare to face enormous observation balloons, whether in solo mode or with a partner, using incendiary bullets or the famous Le Prieur rockets. And for those who enjoy ground action, there are scenarios focused on trench-strafing missions. With mechanics like simultaneous action selection and hidden movement, every game is a constant tension. It's a straightforward game, ideal for those who want to feel the adrenaline of aerial combat without spending hours learning complex rules.
