B-17 Flying Fortress:
The Bloody 100th
Board Game Edition

Inspired by the heroics of the brave airmen of World War II, B-17 Flying Fortress: The Bloody 100th is a cooperative World War II themed board game where players control the crew of a B-17 bomber aircraft, the legendary Flying Fortress. Their task is to fly and fight their way through the hostile airspace over occupied Europe and get their deadly cargo to its destination, then return safely to the home base.
In the course of their mission, they must survive enemy air defense bombardment and Luftwaffe fighter attacks, damages to and the malfunctioning of the aircraft, and other acts of God and war. They must manage their resources skillfully, control their escort fighter squadron, and cooperate between themselves to succeed. Whether they return home as war heroes and true legends, or the plane goes down as a flaming wreck, depends on the crew’s competence, tactical acumen and stamina.
