La Squadriglia degli Assi (1994)

La Squadriglia degli Assi is a Tactical level Aviation-Flight board wargame which depicts all kinds of Air Mission during World War I: from fighting to recon, from bombing to trench strafing and so on. The counters depict every model of airplane that saw operative service on the Italian front between 1915 to 1918, even if in a few exemplars. The map is a full color painting of an aerial view of the front, reconstructed from real recon photos taken on the Italian-Austrian front during World War I, covered by the classic hexagonal grid. The game has not been put into commerce: it has printed in around 10.000 copies by the Italian Defence Ministry and given together with the "Rivista Aeronautica - Notiziario Giovani" magazine - 12 pages were dedicated to the basic rules, optional rules and scenarios.
