Fighters of Europe (2025)

Fighters of Europe is a fast-paced and simple tactical warfare game of air battles during WWII in the sky over Britain in 1940. Relive the fury of air combat over Europe during World War II as you direct each airplane in multiple fighter and bomber squadrons to lead attacks on the enemy's airfields, manufacturing locations, and other ground objectives. Fighters of Europe is scenario-driven. The base game comes with ten different scenarios. With practice, you will be able to set up your own scenarios very quickly. Move each airplane individually on a hex grid. When you maneuver to get an enemy airplane in your sights, it must try to dodge or else take damage. Some airplanes can use bombs to destroy ground installations. Stay in formation to keep the initiative and dominate your opponent. Each airplane has its own attributes in terms of speed, armor, and special abilities. Each piece is illustrated as close as possible to its historical model to maximize your immersion!   The base game contains a large modular board, player aids, and all the tokens you will need to play. This includes several squadrons of Hurricanes and Spitfires as well as Messerschmidt Bf109, Heinkel 111 and Junker 88. No dice, no rulers — only dozens of airplanes! A fast-paced and streamlined game mechanism that plunges you right into the heart of battle. -description from publisher
