About the game
Golden Journal No. 48: Black Helicopters is built around the 28 helicopter pieces that were used in the old Secret Weapons book (part of a larger sheet including the heavy tanks in Golden Journal No. 37: Heavy Metal). You’ll need Parachutes Over Crete (for the German mountain troops), River Battleships and Fire in the Steppe (for the maps and most of the other pieces) to play all of the scenarios. -description from publisher's website
