Buffalo Wings

About this board game

Buffalo Wings is a standalone two-player game of tactical air combat over Finland during World War II, with an approximate play time of 180 minutes. Released in 2010, it expands the Fighting Wings series of WWII air combat games designed by J.D. Webster and published by Clash of Arms Games.

Created for head-to-head play, Buffalo Wings focuses on tactical air combat in its Finnish setting. It is also presented as an accessible entry point to the broader Fighting Wings series, while remaining a complete standalone game.

The original game had been out of print for years. An upgraded and updated version was later completed through Kickstarter and sent to backers, although that reprint also sold out quickly.

• Players: 2
• Play time: approximately 180 minutes
• Setting: WWII air combat over Finland
• Series: Fighting Wings

The Kickstarter campaign added a substantial amount of extra content, though not all of it was planned for the retail version. A limited-time late pledge offered access to the complete additional content associated with the campaign.

For players interested in the wider line, Against the Odds also launched Tiger Wings, another Fighting Wings “on ramp” game focused on early World War II combat in Asia and the Pacific. Buffalo Wings remains the series entry centered on tactical air combat over Finland.
