BLACK CROSS/BLUE SKY & LOST SQUADRONS

1-192889

Take to the skies over southeast England during the turbulent Summer of 1940, as the outnumbered aircraft of the RAF fought a desperate struggle of survival against the onslaught of the near-invincible German Luftwaffe. Black Cross/Blue Sky is a historical wargame that allows players to assume the role of either a British or German pilot during the Battle of Britain.

The core game rules use a revised version of the revolutionary system that has been used in the historical miniatures gaming hobby for 15 years. Large games are limited only by the space provided by the players.

Black Cross/Blue Sky includes:
* 11 scenarios (including one solitaire scenario)
* 102 full color thick cardboard plane counters (backprinted with the inverted view of each aircraft)
* 18 Flight Stands that easily and effectively simulate 3D combat.
* 4 full-color, backprinted 22x34 inches mapsheets (depicting a view of the southeast coast of England and the English Channel)
* 2 sets of illustrated aircraft cards (allowing players to have each aircraft's capabilities at their fingertips)
* 2 full-color rules summary cards (eliminating the need for frequent rules referencing)
* 39 Target, Weather, and Barrage Balloon counters
* 127 informational markers (Ace, hit, momentum, ammo, etc.)
* Color rule book and five dice
