Battle Over Britain is the first volume of the Battle Over Britain game series, covering tactical air combat between British and German fighter planes in World War II. The book contains a complete game, including full rules and authentically rated warplanes that participated in the Battle of Britain (such as the Spitfire, Hurricane, Defiant, Me-109E, Me-110C), and more. Standard, advanced, and optional rules are included for individual dogfights, as well as a campaign game. Dogfight Display, Reference Card, and airplane counters are included within the pages of the book; components must be cut apart prior to play. Players must supply a standard deck of playing cards, and one six-sided die. Battle Over Britain emphasizes playability and historicity, and is designed for two players, though solitaire rules are also included.
