	Description Edit \| History

Second of J.D. Webster's World War II air combat wargames Fighting Wings series.

Tactical WW2 Air Combat game with mechanics upgraded from Over the Reich (first game in series). Focuses on air to air and air to ground combat during the Battle of Britain with some before (Battle of France) and some afterward (Western Europe through 1942).

Mechanics are based on fairly realistic energy physics. Aircraft capabilities modeled closely on differences between the performance of the aircraft. A turn represents 4.1 seconds; a hex represents 100 yards.

The game system is more complex than the other games of this type of combat such as Mustangs or Dauntless/Air Force Dauntless Expansion Kit.

The system includes an operational scale to handle flying an entire mission.

He 111P-2 Heinkel Bomber third ed. ADC

Common 1939 variant of the Heinkel He 111 used against Poland and France with many still in use during the start of the Battle of Britain, though more heavily armed models quickly followed. P variants used Daimler Benz engines.

Aircraft Counters

This is test version of aircraft counters. You can use them as spares or whatever. This is kind of a test variant. There's not all of the planes but I will make all of them eventually. I don't know if that much of details will print accurately and without problems on all of the printers so I will be glad for the feedback :)

Aircraft Attitude Markers

Unfortunately I couldn't arrange it better in the letter format. I will probably replace it with different version when I make more marker types and put them all together.

Bf 110C-1 early Zerstorer

Slightly revised Bf 110C-1 ADC to clarify that it covers the C-1 through C-4 models (not the fighter bomber versions). Saw service in Norway, Poland, and France through early stages of Battle of Britain. Lacks the armor and fuel protection of later models.
