Axis & Allies Air Force Miniatures: Bandits High

About this board game

Axis & Allies Air Force Miniatures: Bandits High is a World War II aerial-combat game for 2–6 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes. Players take the stick of one or more famous warplanes and face opponents in fast-paced dogfights on a hexagonal map.

On each turn, players determine initiative, move their aircraft, and attack opposing planes. Victory comes through eliminating opponents or comparing victory point totals, creating a focused contest of positioning, maneuvering, and firepower.

Bandits High features aircraft used in the Pacific Theater of Operations and introduces new scenarios, including bombing missions. Optional rules add further battlefield conditions, such as clouds, flak fields, barrage balloons, and night combat.

• The two-player starter set includes six non-random warplanes, including the exclusive P-38J Lightning Ace.
• Booster packs contain three random warplanes, with 31 different planes available to collect.
• Aircraft arrive prepainted, assembled, and ready to play.
• Unit abilities and statistics are based on historical performance in battle.

The set includes legendary aircraft such as the Ju 87 Stuka, Navy F4U Corsair, P-51D Mustang, and IL-2 Sturmovik. These durable plastic miniatures bring a range of historical WWII aircraft to the table, with the set representing planes primarily from the early years of the war.

With its scenario-based aerial combat, optional environmental rules, and collectible aircraft, Axis & Allies Air Force Miniatures: Bandits High offers a direct way to recreate dramatic WWII air battles on the tabletop.
