Choose your maneuvers in secret, then reveal and dogfight in First World War biplanes.
Dogfights from the First World War, played with cards and a ruler. Wings of War: Watch Your Back! is the second box in the series, from 2005. It brings five aircraft: the Nieuport 11, Hanriot HD.1 and Halberstadt D.III fighters, plus the British-American DH4 and the Austrian Ufag C.I two-seaters. Four decks of movement cards, a deck of combat cards, rulers, counters and a promo SPAD XIII come along. You and your opponents secretly pick maneuvers, then everyone reveals them together and flies. It works alone or combined with Famous Aces for bigger scenarios, and each box has its own scenarios. Two to four players, around twenty minutes, quick and cinematic.
