Description (800 chars)

Wings Over France is a solitaire WWI wargame, simulating the day-to-day operations of a RFC Squadron during the month of April 1917, known as "Bloody April" because of the heavy losses suffered by the allied air force. The game puts the player in control of 1 to 3 RFC Flights based in Arras, France. The objective is to sweep the skies clear of Huns in support of the Arras ground offensive, but just surviving would be an achievement. Each squadron has to undertake a number of missions each day (determined randomly), but with limited resources and personnel. The various missions include rece's, bombing raids, destroying enemy balloons etc - but all will involve dogfights with enemy aircraft - with the game easily capable of handling over 20 aircraft fighting in the skies simultaneously.
