Written for aerial wargames set in the Second World War, Squadron Forward focusses on the characters within your force.

This is the perfect addition to solo games as the dynamic system presents the player with a hidden enemy and provides a huge variety of potential outcomes, keeping the games interesting and allowing the unexpected to occur.
