Overview

Buffalo Wings is a stand-alone game of tactical air combat over Finland in WWII from Against the Odds Magazine. It expands the Fighting Wings series of WWII air combat games designed by J.D. Webster and published by Clash of Arms Games. The game has been OOP for years, but an upgraded and updated version was finished on Kickstarter and is now being sent to backers. It's still possible to get a copy of the full Buffalo Wings Kickstarter ziplock version with all the extras.
