It's about the year 1918 when Europe witnessed a last - ditch trench battle and the sky became a new battlefield. Colorful biplanes dueled like 'knights of the air', and colossal 'giants of the sky' flew to bring destruction. Wings of Glory is the world's most popular World War One aerial combat tabletop game. It comes with pre - painted, ready - to - play model airplanes. Its elegant and innovative game system lets you start playing minutes after opening the rules. Each airplane has a unique, historically accurate maneuver deck, yet it's easy to play. The German Zeppelin Staaken R.VI, the largest WW1 airplane, had a wingspan over 30 feet larger than a WW2 B - 17 Flying Fortress. It was used in key historical events like the 1918 London raids. The 1/144 scale R.VI model, about 30 cm (1 foot) in wingspan, is a complete, painted, and assembled miniature. It includes all you need for aerial battles: maneuver deck, airplane card, crew management card, damage counters, new rules, and a special gaming base.
