About the game
What you do in a play session
Wings of War: Dogfight Booster Pack arrives as a 72-card supplement that doubles the range of aircraft available in the base game. Each card adds two new maneuver decks, letting you pilot the RAF Se5a and the German Siemens Schuckert D.III and D.IV, plus post‑1918 variants of the Se5a used by Polish and Soviet forces. Like any Wings of War expansion, Dogfight isn’t a standalone game – you need the Famous Aces or Burning Drachens core set to play. The concept is straightforward: more planes, more maneuver options, and richer tactical depth. The cards retain the original artwork and layout, preserving the feeling of commanding a historic dogfight. Core mechanics – action queue, simultaneous action selection, player elimination, and a strong simulation focus – stay the same, but now you have more combinations to explore. Playtime remains around 30 minutes, perfect for quick, intense matches. The light weight (1.68/5) means the learning curve hasn’t steepened; veterans will adapt instantly, while newcomers may need a quick reference for the new maneuvers. In short, the Dogfight Booster Pack is the go‑to add‑on for anyone wanting to expand their aerial arsenal without overcomplicating the experience, keeping the focus on World War I air combat.
