Skies above the Reich
Bring down the American heavies by breaking up the dreaded combat box formation!
Skies Above the Reich is a solitaire game depicting a Luftwaffe squadron of Bf109s struggling to deter and destroy the relentless daylight raids over Germany during World War Two. The player’s individual aircraft, each represented by a stickered block, must confront the mighty “combat box” formation of the United States Air Force, a deadly terrain of B-17 Flying Fortresses. The game is a broad-strokes depiction that presents the arc of the desperate air war. Stretching from late 1942 to early 1945, Skies Above the Reich follows that trajectory in a series of missions strung together to make a campaign. Each mission will take half an hour or more to play, while a campaign can last anywhere between 6 to 60 missions.

- 22” x 34” map board (double-sided)
