I got this for Christmas but have not played yet (I stupidly started to paint the central stairwell in the house so hobby time is limited at the moment)

I suppose you could class it as a 2D miniatures game but it's really a deck builder in board game parlance with a tactical edge, but ...

I own and have played it's sibling game Undaunted Normandy which is very good
This gets plenty of great reviews
The art is great
The hex terrain boards would make a great map for 1/300 miniatures any way
And it's WW2 aircraft so it's cool by default

Much appreciated, thank you.

I’ll cast a vote for Wings of War/Glory.  If you can find a copy, that is…. It’s also more of a beer and pretzels game, but that makes it perfect for quick pick-up games.  At my local game days, I usually set it up on a side table, for people to play a quick dogfight between longer games. It takes all of two turns to figure out the rules.

There is also a 25 game , community created BoB campaign ladder on the form - it’s really good
