About this game
This is an unabashed celebration of the tactical air power that was so important in blitz warfare. Most planes pictured are the gull-winged Ju-87 dive bombers (Sturzkampfflugzeug, hence Stuka). However, a Ju 88 is featured on both box and board. The planes are shown delivering destruction against land and ocean targets alike, with devastating effect.

Rules
The game board is cross shaped with 67 linked and numbered circles. Five green planes start from spaces 1-5 and red planes from 62-66. Players try to move across the board and back without being shot down. Players roll a die and move one plane that many spaces. They shoot down enemies by jumping over. Searchlight and AA spaces help defend. Players score points for each enemy shot down and each plane that reaches the enemy spaces and returns safely.
