About the game
What you do in a play session
The Wings of War: Immelmann Booster Pack is the expansion that gives a turbo boost to your World War I aerial combat game. Each pack brings 72 new cards – half the amount found in a full set – and, the coolest part, three maneuver decks, letting each player fly up to three planes at once. The aircraft included are the Fokker E.III, Fokker E.IV, Morane Saulnier N, and Airco DH2, plus experimental machines like the Halberstadt D.III with twin machine‑gun and the Fokker E.IV with three machine‑guns, famously flown by Max Immelmann. The pack doesn’t come with new rules – you just need any Wings of War base box (Famous Aces, Watch Your Back!, or Burning Drachens) – and if you lack B‑damage cards you can swap them for A‑cards, halving the damage. The game keeps the same action‑queue and simultaneous‑action selection mechanics, but player elimination becomes even more thrilling with more planes in the fray. If you love flight simulation, aerial battles, and want to add more maneuver options for your squad, this booster is a sure hit. It keeps the same playtime (30 min) and player count (3) and guarantees that tension and strategy only increase.
