RAF: The Battle of Britain 1940

Recreate the 1940 air campaign as the RAF, the Luftwaffe, or in a two-player contest. Three separate game modes offer distinct roles: a solo RAF defense where the player manages patrols, fatigue, interceptions and updated mechanics; a solo Luftwaffe mode that focuses on planning and executing raids from a German perspective, including deep targets and strike aircraft rules; and a head-to-head variant with a hidden German planning display for secret raid plotting. Play uses counters, cards, large maps and scenario-specific rulebooks; advanced rules add elements such as ace squadrons, forward airfields, VHF-equipped units, delayed responses and command requirements to reflect operational detail.

Only played RAF:Lion. Seems a bit repetitive.

Juego entretenido de jugar en solitario porque requiere poco de ti y es fácil dejarlo en cualquier momento y continuar otro día. A pesar de que tomas pocas decisiones merece la pena por las sensaciones que te produce tanto la inseguridad de la localización donde atacarán como la cantidad de veces. El mayor problema que le veo, y que empiezo a ver un patrón en ello en los juegos de Butterfield, es la dificultad. En este caso es demasiado sencillo vencer al juego, cosa que sucede al llegar a 35 PV. Y como llegas a ellos demasiado pronto no has visto ni la mitad de la partida, con lo que te llevas una mala sensación.
