Wings of Glory: World War 2 – Messerschmitt Bf.109 K-4 is an expansion for Wings of Glory: WW2 Battle of Britain Starter Set released in 2016 for 2 players and ages 13 and up. Its main mechanics are Simultaneous Action Selection, Simulation, and Action Queue.
From the publisher: The Messerschmitt Bf.109 was one of the first truly modern fighters of WW2. Originally conceived as an interceptor, the Bf.109 fulfilled multiple roles, as bomber escort, fighter-bomber, ground–attack aircraft, and reconnaissance aircraft. The final production version of the Bf.109 was the K series, or “Kurfürst.” Externally similar to the G series, it had a large number of internal and aerodynamic changes that improved its effectiveness and remedied existing flaws, which kept it competitive against rival fighters. Messerschmitt Bf.109 K–4 (9./JG3) Belonging to the proud Jagdgeschwader 9, which fought throughout the war, this Bf.109 defended German borders from the Allied advance. Messerschmitt Bf.109 K–4 (1./JG77) Jagdgeschwader 77 used the last version of Bf.109 to fight in the Reichsverteidigung (defense of the Reich) during the last days of WW2, to slow the inevitable German defeat. Messerschmitt Bf.109 K–4 (Hartmann) Major Erich Hartmann, the greatest Ace of all time with 352 aerial victories, piloted many different airplanes, including the latest versions of Bf.109. Each WW2 Wings of Glory® Airplane Pack is a ready–to–play model, painted and assembled, 100% compatible with any other WW2 Wings of Glory game product.
