La Squadriglia degli Assi

The game depicts all kinds of air mission during World War I: from fighting to recon, from bombing to trench strafing and so on. The counters depict every model of airplane that saw operative service on the Italian front between 1915 to 1918, even if in a few exemplars. The map is a full color painting of an aerial view of the front, reconstructed from real recon photos taken on the Italian-Austrian front during WWI, covered by the classical hex grid. The game has not been put into commerce: it has printed in around 10.000 copies by the Italian Air Force Ministry and given together with the "Rivista Aeronautica - Notiziario Giovani" magazine. 12 pages were dedicated to the basic rules, optional rules and scenarios.
