About the game
Every move matters because each flight might be your last. Will you take a chance? Inspired by a true story, 303 Squadron is an intense, fast-paced board-wargame that will push you and your plane to the limits. 303 Squadron was the most effective RAF squadron during the Battle of Britain. Comprised of various individuals, we strive to recreate how they fought – and won – against the German invasion. Choose your strategy. It’s up to you how you will face the enemy. You can fight in a formation or engage in individual raids. Every move has its consequences so choose wisely. You only have one chance. 303 Squadron can be played either co-operatively or as a solitaire game. —description from the publisher
