RAF Bomber Command: Lancaster (Expansion 4) is a tactical-level, narrative-style solitaire wargame expansion using a tables-based game engine simulating the British RAF Bomber Command nighttime bombing campaign against Germany during 1943-1945.
As the pilot of an RAF Avro Lancaster heavy bomber, your ultimate goal is to survive a 30-mission tour of duty. You and your crew will be assigned with taking part in nightly area bombing raids against various German cities from 1943 to 1945 in an attempt to break the will of the German people. But it won’t certainly be a cake walk, as Luftwaffe night fighters will be hunting your bomber streams, not to mention navigation challenges over open water and deadly FLAK you will encounter over the target cities.
One D6, one D12, and two D10 dice are required to play.
5 minute game setup and breakdown times.
A medium size table is recommended for game setup.
Total play time to complete a full 30-mission tour of duty takes approximately 10-15 hours, with a typical mission averaging 20 minutes.
Adjustable starting difficulty based on player's skill level.
With most of the rules integrated into the tables, there is practically no learning curve or rules memorization. And with detailed damage modeling, fuel management, numerous crewmen skills, mission weather effects, random events, and a multitude of table modifiers, RAF Bomber Command: Lancaster (Expansion 4) offers memorable experiences and high replay value. Are you up to the challenge of surviving a 30-mission tour of duty?
