Wing Leader: Victories 1940-1942 2nd Printing

Wing Leader: Victories 1940-1942 is the first volume in GMT’s Wing Leader series, covering large-scale aerial combat in the early years of the Second World War.

The system uses a distinctive side-view battlefield, making altitude, approach, weather, and formation position central to play. Rather than focusing on individual dogfights, players command squadrons and flights as they intercept raids, escort bombers, attack targets, or fight for control of the skies.

This volume includes scenarios from major early-war air campaigns, including the Battle of Britain, Malta, Coral Sea, Midway, North Africa, and Stalingrad. The result is a broad introduction to the system, with a variety of aircraft, tactical situations, and mission types.

Wing Leader: Victories is a strong starting point for players interested in WWII air combat at the squadron level, especially those who want a system that emphasizes altitude and formation tactics without becoming slow or overly technical.
