 "Luftwaffe"
re-creates the drama of the war in the skies over Nazi Germany. As the
American player, you must eliminate key industrial complexes and destroy
Germany's resources. Plan the missions, direct the attacks, and elude the
Luftwaffe as much as possible. As the German player, you must prevent the
American bombers from reaching their targets, while keeping your own plane
losses to a minimum. If the Americans destroy too much, you may not get
those superior planes you want. Medium complexity. Bookshelf / bookcase
game. Typical playing time about two plus hours. There was also a PBM (Play-By-Mail)
Kit available for "Luftwaffe".

An
important note regarding Avalon Hill games
- It was not unusual for Avalon Hill to re-publish most of their games
with 2nd, 3rd or more Editions. Sometimes the game components changed,
sometimes they didn't. If your game components do not correspond exactly
with what is listed, do not despair. You may just have to do a little more
checking to insure its completeness.
