I love this game. My only beef is that instead of a book of tables, I would prefer cards like patton's best or B-17 QotS did it. Its easier to get to the correct table. Board game Geek had a pdf of the tables used to move into every zone. I'm starting to scan other tables into pdfs and make my own cards.
You probably own the world's loudest clock. LOL! Interesting the level of chrome in the game. I was noticing for instance if the pilot gets shot in the face, you can roll a 6 and get "facial features blown off". TMI? Also, the JU88 is not the Stuka, the Stuks is the JU87. :)
Alexander: 1) GREAT UNBOXING VID> 2) about 24 mins in you're pointing at a JU88 counter and saying "Stuka". Minor correction. Stuka was a dive bomber, JU-87. I think what you're pointing at is (most likely??) JU88 Night-Fighter (?) variant ??? Cheers - Mike
I had B-17 back in the day, this looks like a fantastic modernization and improvement.
I want this game to be my first Wargame.
It's a deep dark rabbit hole after this one, don't say I didn't warn you! Such a rich hobby to get into.
Indeed, TfT is my first wargame. My first mission, played over three sessions, was to bomb the U-boat pens at St. Nazaire.

I was going to recommend this game to you as a good solo but I guess you beat me to it
