Description Edit | History

The Battle of Britain, 1940

RAF: The Battle of Britain 1940 is three games in one, on history's greatest air campaign:

RAF:LION updates the classic original solitaire game -- you control the RAF against the German raiders. All systems have been updated to reflect recent scholarship, notably the fatigue and patrol systems. Advanced rules cover late interception, VHF-equipped squadrons and evasion tactics, Ace squadrons, Forward Airfield Targets, Delayed RAF Response and more!

RAF:EAGLE reverses the solo game -- you control the Luftwaffe planning and executing raids against the RAF. Also, you flip the map over for a German perspective on the campaign. Advanced rules include, High Command requirements, deep targets, Jabos and special rules for Ju-87 Stukas.

RAF: 2-PLAYER allows for head-to-head play. A separate German planning display is added to allow the German player to plan his raids in secret.

Each game has its own complete rules booklet.

3 Tuckboxes for Sleeved cards
Tuckboxes for cards in sleeves. I normally use double sided tape. Print out one page only in draft mode to make a mock up copy and check if everything is ok. You should be ok printing at 100% or you may tweak it up or down a little to fit your sleeves.

2 RAF: Lion A.I. vs Eagle A.I. SOP
This modified Sequence of Play is for use when playing the A.I. system against itself. This is most easily accomplished by playing on the Lion board, but keeping the Eagle board handy for the Hunt Box and Bomber Box tables. This SOP does not include any advanced rules information.

Just a stand-up marker to designate the current luftwaffe target. It helps remember the target's location. Print at 100%, cut, and fold.

1 RAF Contact Mechanism (Variant)
Interception by Fighter Gruppen and Squadrons is no longer automatic but now depends a each unit passing a die roll to participate in the ensuing combat. The mechanic uses modifiers for weather, RAF Intelligence, plane type, pilot quality with larger masses of enemy units being easier to intercept.
