A second printing of John Butterfield's award winning RAF update in which players can solo as the British or the Germans or can play head-to-head.

France has fallen. England stands alone against the might of a triumphant Germany, defended only by the Spitfire and Hurricane squadrons of the Royal Air Force. Hitler orders his mighty Luftwaffe to destroy the RAF in preparation for Operation Sealion—the invasion of England. German fighters and bombers fill the English skies and the RAF responds.

Now you command the RAF or the Luftwaffe in history’s greatest air campaign—the Battle of Britain. Improving on his award winning solitaire classic, designer John Butterfield ramps up the historical accuracy, tension and play options with three complete games.

RAF: Lion puts you in control of British Fighter Command, responding to German raids. The game’s unique card system generates targets and forces, which may remain hidden until after you commit your squadrons. Your foe is no mindless system: the Luftwaffe has priorities and a strategy. Scenarios range from one raid day, taking an hour to complete, to the full campaign, playable in 12 hours.
RAF: Eagle puts you in control of the Luftwaffe forces raiding England. You schedule raids and assign missions to your bombers and fighters, attempting to deliver the knockout blow. Can you take out the British radar system and cripple their aircraft production? The game controls the RAF response to your strategies. How does a foe so close to defeat keep coming back?
RAF: 2-Player pits you against a live opponent, one controlling Fighter Command and the other the raiding Luftwaffe forces. Historical features include: German high command priorities, close escort, free hunt, the Channel Patrol, Jabos, day and night bombing, radar, the Observer Corps, weather, ULTRA intercepts, squadron patrols, “big wings,” altitude advantage, ace squadrons and flak.

4 of 5 Differences with the former editon June 19, 2023
Reviewer: Carlos Garcia Gomez from Hostal Nou - Balaguer, Lleida Spain  
I own the former edition of the game. I can not tell from the description if this is a new game with new components, or simply it is the same game in a new box. Are there major differences? Is it enough to buy the De Luxe kit?

3 of 5 Good Game with poor content May 18, 2018
Reviewer: Raider-O from Spain  
I've recently purchased the game, and I'm very satisfied with game. But when I watched videos on youtube, I realised that counters in ancient reprint had better quality than mine. This is no serious, this game it is not for children, and I'm sure we prefer pay 5 (dolar-euros) to play with components of a fair quality. I'm very dissapointed with this. But the game it's really good to play solitaire-two players
