The Burning Blue is a board wargame that recreates the savage air
battles over Southern England from July to December 1940.
Covering air operations from the fighting over the English Channel to the air
assault on London and the fighter-bomber offensive at the end of the year,
The Burning Blue simulates battles between German air power and the
British air defence system. It recreates the minute-by-minute ''plotting board''
war between Royal Air Force fighter controllers and the Luftwaffe air raids.
The game features Chain Home radar; Observer Corps; radio-telephony; Ack-Ack;
balloon barrages; the Duxford Big Wing; the Italian Air Expeditionary Force and
Erprobungsgruppe 210.
Based on original archive research and with the help of pilot veterans of the
actual Battle of Britain, The Burning Blue models this famous conflict in
unprecedented detail.
Playable and exciting, The Burning Blue provides new insights into
this turning point battle of World War Two.
