About this game
This somber brown-paper map paints a depressingly accurate picture of the horrendous casualties faced by British nighttime bombers. Players undertake bombing missions across Europe. Each target city has a point value, with higher value targets usually more difficult and dangerous to reach. Landing on a dark brown space means the bomber is shot down, and there are 40 of these among the 179 total spaces on the network of movement tracks.

Rules
To start a mission, each player chooses a target city and then rolls diceto reach their target and return. Points are scored for reaching the target, but landing on a dark brown space in either direction means the plane is lost. Players get 10 missions in a game. The winner is the player to score the most points for targets hit -- but about half the planes will perish on a typical mission.
