Ju 87 Stuka Ace

Its been a bit of a settling in period and I'm yet to connect with a gaming group in the new locale, but I've finally played my first game in the new apartment: Ju.87 Stuka Ace, by Lock n Load publishing.

All setup to begin the campaign in Poland 1939

A crowdfunded project from early 2023, it had some snags along the way (like most of them really) but, having forgotten all about it, I finally got my copy courtesy of the safe hands of Comrade James (thanks again mate!). The components are beautiful and the neoprene game mat really brings them all together well.

I'm still working through the mechanics but broadly its an immersive campaign game, and includes options for flying with the Condor Legion, in every theatre across WW2 including Italian Stukas over the Med, and what-if campaigns for flying the folding wing C-models off the deck off the German Aircraft Carrier Graf Zeppelin (scrapped in real life), or the models trialled by Japan in China!

Ahhh...that new game smell!

Given my lack of tabletop gaming, I'll plan to record my sorties and campaign on this blog.
