Age of Dogfights: WWII

About this board game

Age of Dogfights: WWII is a realistic air-battle game for 1–2 players, with sessions lasting around 120 minutes. It depicts the air war in Europe from 1942 to 1945, during the period when the USA became heavily involved in World War II.

The game’s distinctive altitude stands are easy to handle, helping represent the vertical dimension of combat. Battles can include a large number of individual aircraft while retaining fluid gameplay, making it possible to simulate expansive air engagements without losing sight of each plane.

Age of Dogfights: WWII uses the flexible Triangle system, which supports a range of optional rules. At first, the mechanics may appear simple because they focus on numerical values such as speed, agility, and firepower, modified by dice and several other factors.

• Simulation of velocity and movement
• Horizontal and vertical direction changes
• Aircraft damage caused by firing
• Flexible rules through the Triangle system
• Altitude represented with easy-to-use stands

These straightforward mechanics combine to form a realistic model of aerial physics. Movement, turning, altitude, and firing interact to portray the forces shaping a dogfight, while dice and situational factors influence the results.

Released in 2022, Age of Dogfights: WWII focuses on the interaction of aircraft and the practical consequences of their numerical capabilities. Its accessible core rules and optional systems offer a detailed way to recreate WWII air battles from the European conflict.
