About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for more aerial action with the Hit & Run booster pack for Wings of War! If you enjoy World War I airplane combat, this expansion brings two incredible flying machines to your table. On one side, we have the SPAD VII, a French fighter that became so popular it flew under various Allied flags. On the other, the Aviatik Berg D.I, one of the Austro-Hungarian aviation's pride, known for its combat performance. This box isn't limited to the skies of the Great War; it also includes cards to extend the action to conflicts that raged across Europe and the Mediterranean after 1919. With these new aircraft, you add more variety and realism to your aerial duels. The game continues with the simultaneous action selection and action queue we already know, ensuring that tension of predicting the opponent's moves. The flight and combat simulation is the highlight, and the risk of player elimination keeps everyone on the edge of their seats. It's an essential pack for those who want to supercharge their air battles and relive history's most exciting duels, expanding the possibilities for scenarios and confrontations.
