First World War Series

The First World War series consists of three standalone sets and a number of expansions. The first two sets are Wings of War - Famous Aces (Nexus Editrice 2004) and Wings of War - Watch your back! (Nexus Editrice 2005). Famous Aces includes a selection of single seater fighters with personal colors of the most renowned aces of World War I. Watch your back! adds other fighters and some two-seaters allowing bombings, reconnaissance missions and other special scenarios. The third set, Burning Drachens (Nexus Editrice 2005) adds observation balloons, AA guns, air-to-air Le Prieur rockets, trench systems, and optional altitude rules. Burning Drachens includes rules for solo play as well as multi-player dogfights, bombing runs, and strafing or reconnaissance missions. Each set allows 2/4 people to play. The sets can be combined to make larger and more varied scenarios, the number of players being effectively limited by the number of maneuver decks.

An expansion was released in 2010, Wings of War - Flight of the Giants adds heavy bombers into the game and serves as an extension to any of the standalone sets.

A number of booster packs add new plane types to the game. Each booster pack contains 2 or 3 manoeuvre decks and several aircraft cards. The booster packs can only be used by owners of at least one standalone set.

Second World War Series

Wings of War - Dawn of War (Nexus Editrice 2007) allows 2/6 players to engage in dogfights with the most famous fighters and ground-attack planes of 1939-1943. The game system is quite different from the one of the World War I collection, so it can not be mixed with other sets. "Squadron" booster packs for the World War II series are Wings of War- Eagles of the Reich and Wings of War- Flying Legend.
