Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 9.01. Ideal for 2 to 99 players, this game was published in 2016. The game takes you back to 1918, when Europe was in the throes of war and the sky became a new battlefield. Colorful biplanes engage in gallant duels, while colossal 'giants of the sky' soar to bring destruction. Wings of Glory is the world's most popular World War One aerial combat tabletop game, featuring a great collection of pre - painted, ready - to - play model airplanes. Its elegant and innovative game system allows you to start playing minutes after opening the rules. Each airplane has a unique, historically accurate maneuver deck and is easy to play. The German Zeppelin Staaken R.VI, the largest plane in World War 1, had a wingspan over 30 feet larger than a WW2 B - 17 Flying Fortress. It played a crucial role in historical events like the 1918 raids over London. The 1/144 scale R.VI model has a wingspan of about 30 cm (1 foot), comes fully painted and assembled. It includes all you need for aerial battles: a maneuver deck, airplane card, crew management card, damage counters, new rules, and a special gaming base. When you buy Wings of Glory: German Zeppelin Staaken R.VI (Schilling) at TheGameSteward, a large part of your spending will support new games on Kickstarter.
