From BoardGameGeek

The Blitz: 1940-1941 is a tactical-level, narrative-style solitaire print and play wargame using a tables-based game engine simulating the German Luftwaffe nighttime bombing campaign against England during the early part of the second World War. As the pilot of a Luftwaffe He 111 Heinkel bomber, your ultimate goal is to survive a 35-mission tour of duty. You and your crew will be assigned with taking part in nightly ‘terror' area bombing raids against various English cities during 1940 and 1941 in an attempt to break the will of the British people. Guided by sophisticated radio beam navigation equipment, your bombardier will be able to locate the target city in pitch darkness, even in poor or bad weather. But it certainly won't be a cake walk, as RAF night fighters will continuously be hunting your bomber stream, not to mention searchlights and deadly FLAK you will encounter over the target cities. With most of the rules integrated into the tables, there is practically no learning curve or rules memorization. And with detailed damage modeling, fuel management, numerous crewmen skills, mission weather effects, random events, and a multitude of table modifiers, The Blitz: 1940-1941 offers memorable experiences and high replay value. Are you up to the challenge of surviving a 35-mission tour of duty? The player will move his bomber through various travel boxes on a map during each mission on his way to the assigned target area, then must successfully return back to home base. Game components include a crewmen placement mat, strategic map mat, tables book, crewmen status sheet, campaign log sheet, and counter sheets representing individual aircraft, etc. The game is available as Print and Play on Wargame Vault.
