Storm Above the Reich

Storm Above the Reich is a solitaire game depicting a Luftwaffe squadron (called a staffel) of FW190s struggling to deter and destroy the relentless daylight raids during World War Two. The player’s individual aircraft, each represented by a stickered block, must confront the mighty combat box formation of the United States Army Air Force, a deadly terrain of B-24 "Liberator" heavy bombers. The game is a broad strokes depiction that presents the arc of the desperate air war. Beginning in the Mediterranean in1942 and ending over Germany in 1945, Storm Above the Reich follows that trajectory in a series of Missions strung together to make a Campaign. Each Mission will take you a half hour or more to play, while a Campaign can last anywhere between 6 to 60 Missions.

You may also play this as an (un)cooperative game. Players each command a staffel of fighters and simultaneously attack the same formation of bombers.

You may combine Storm above the Reich with Skies Above the Reich. The Advanced Rule Book explains how to knit the two games together to make a coherent whole.
