Classic favorites return, including the iconic Fokker Dr.I and the nimble Sopwith Triplane, both using the included "D" maneuver deck. New planes such as the Breguet BR.14 B2, LFG Roland C.II, RAF RE‑8, and Pomilio PC arrive with a brand‑new "K" maneuver deck, offering fresh combat styles. The pack also introduces additional air forces like the Australian Flying Corps and Turkish aviation from the Greco‑Turkish war (1919‑1922), enriching the historical setting. Remember, this is not a standalone game – it requires a Wings of War base set that includes a B damage deck (e.g., "Watch Your Back!" or the Deluxe Set). Once integrated, the booster adds deeper strategy through programmed action queues, simultaneous maneuver selection, and player elimination, all within a World War I aerial combat simulation. Perfect for players already fond of the core system who want more planes and forces while keeping games around 30 minutes. ## FAQ ### How many players can use Recon Patrol?
