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.

8 RAF 2-Player Checklist
expanded sequence of play for 2 player RAF. I tried to include rererences to the appropriate sections in the rulebook to facilitate quick look-ups when clarifications are needed. Otherwise the goal is to have enough information available at the player's fingertips to prevent constant referalls to the rulebook. I also tried to include the ADJUSTMENT rules (changes to max raid sizes, Hunter dieroll, required close escort matching.

16 RAF Lion flipbook ads variant
Rules for RAF: Lion, broken down into a series of steps to follow. Charts and details are provided directly at the step where they are needed and are duplicated where necessary, so you won't need to flip through the rules or chart sheets to find the information you need. It should be possible to play RAF: Lion without referring to the rules or tables. This flipbook includes the Advanced and Optional rules, marked as such. This is based on the excellent Excel version by Erin Sparks (rockhpi) at http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/45326/raf-lion-flipbook . This is the original work of rockhpi and Alan De Smet, based on material under copyright and is published with the permission of Christopher Cummins of Decision Games.

5 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.
