The Great War: Short Bomber (2022)

The Great War: Short Bomber is a tactical-level, narrative-style solitaire print and play wargame using a tables-based game engine simulating the British RNAS nighttime bombing campaign against Germany during 1916-1917.

As the pilot of a Short bomber serving with the No.7 Squadron of the Royal Navy Air Service, your ultimate goal is to survive a 30-mission tour of duty during 1916-1917. Based in Petite-Synthe (Dunkirk), France, you and your observer will be assigned with taking part in nightly solo bombing and strafing raids against various German targets in occupied Belgium. But it won’t certainly be a cake walk, as your bomber will frequently encounter deadly FLAK, not to mention nighttime navigation challenges, petrol management, mechanical failures, and even wing icing. And of course, you and your crewmen are not allowed to wear parachutes, so forget about bailing out when things go wrong!

With most of the rules integrated into the tables, there is practically no learning curve or rules memorization. And with detailed damage modeling, fuel management, numerous crewmen skills, mission weather effects, random events, and a multitude of table modifiers, The Great War: Short Bomber offers memorable experiences and high replay value. Are you up to the challenge of surviving a 30-mission tour of duty?

The player will move his bomber through various travel boxes on a map during each mission on his way to the target zone, then must successfully return back to home base.

Game components include a crewmen placement mat, strategic map mat, tables book, crewmen status sheet, campaign log sheet, and counter sheet representing individual bombers, enemy units, etc.
