Wings of Glory: WW1 Giants of the Sky – Zeppelin Staaken R.VI

About this expansion

Wings of Glory: WW1 Giants of the Sky – Zeppelin Staaken R.VI is a World War One aerial combat game for 2-99 players, featuring a ready-to-play model of one of the largest aircraft ever to fight in the war.

Set in 1918, the game brings the new battlefield of the sky to life. While colourful biplanes duel as “knights of the air,” colossal aircraft take flight to bring destruction to distant cities and over the battlefield.

The German Zeppelin Staaken R.VI was the largest airplane ever to fight during World War 1, with a wingspan more than 30 feet larger than a WW2 B-17 Flying Fortress. This leviathan took part in pivotal historical events during the final months of the war, including raids over London in 1918.

Built for the Wings of Glory aerial combat system, the R.VI uses an elegant and innovative rules framework that lets players begin playing minutes after opening the rules. Each airplane has a unique, historically accurate maneuver deck, while the included crew management and damage components support the aircraft in battle.
