About the game
NATO never fights alone. Even the smallest nations of NATO have well-trained pilots and capable aircraft. In the Minor NATO pack, you’ll gain access to seven new nations, each with a distinctive aircraft. The Dutch bring F-16s for multi-role work. The Norwegians bring nimble F-5s, while the Portuguese bring heavy hitting A-7 strike aircraft. The Danish fly the J-35 Draken, and the Spanish bring their Hornets. The Belgians enter with Mirage 5 strike aircraft, while the Turkish fly their F-4s. Finally, each nation will have national skills to help their pilots feel distinct and get the most out of their airframes. This set adds 56 cards and 54 counters to your Eagle Leader game, including: 54 x Aircraft cards (F-4E Turkey / F-5 Norway / F-16C Netherlands / EF/A-18 Spain / J-35 Denmark / Mirage 5BA Belgium / A-7P Portugal) 2 x Event cards 14 x Skill counters 1 x Pilot Skills sheet -description from publisher
