Bombs Away!

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Bombs Away! is a tactical-level, narrative-style solitaire wargame using a tables-based game engine simulating the USAAF 8th Air Force precision daylight bombing campaign against Germany during 1942-1945.

As the pilot of a United States Army Air Force B-17 heavy bomber during 1942-1945, your ultimate goal is to complete either 25 or 35 bombing missions inside Germany, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, while at the same time bringing your aircraft and crew home safely. It won’t be easy, but England, America, and all of occupied Europe are depending on you. Don’t let them down!

- 1 Tables Book (37 pages)

- 7 Game Mats (A4 / 8.5 x 11)

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
