From BoardGameGeek
Flying Fortresses: B-17 Missions Over Europe puts you and your friends in the cockpit of legendary B-17 Flying Fortress bombers during World War II. Gameplay Highlights 1-3 Players - Fly solo or as part of a squadron. Work together to survive or see who can score the most medals and mission success. Dynamic AI BOT - Axis defenses are automated, keeping you on your toes with unpredictable flak, fighters, weather, and hazards. Fighters are placed face down on the board according to the scenario setup. As your Flying Fortress (referred to as "your Fort") enters an Air Zone, defined as any space within the white grid, those fighters are flipped face up. Based on a die roll, some may become activated and are then able to move according to their rules. Tactical Choices - Plan your route, manage altitude, and position your gunners to survive relentless opposition. Historical Immersion - Each mission echoes the real challenges faced by Allied crews in the 1943-45 bombing campaigns over Europe. Plus, play in "Character Mode" and increase the proficiency of your crew as they fly multiple missions. Each successful mission you complete your gunners will increase their aim and the flyboys will become even better at avoiding the hazards of the air. -description from the designer
