Could some one who owns this game please let me know if it is a good WW 1 air warfare board game? Also, how big are the plane counters? I look forward to your info. |

It's been a long time since I've seen my old copy of DP but boardgame geek has a nice section on it. link And of course there is the DP webpage. dawnpatrol.org Hope that helps you. |

It's nice. I have fond memories of it. I think Wings of War would be a better choice. |

I have to check my copy but I think it's almost RPG lite? Gracias, Glenn |

my first ww1 air combat and still my favourite. The counters are approx, 1" square. regards jim |

The counters are one inch square. The basic game is very simple. The advanced game adds more detail but isn't to hard to pick up. Not really a role playing game as you only play a pilot and fly missions. As your number of missions flown and number of kills goes up you get bonuses for your pilot in flying and gunnery. |

As mentioned above, the game is fairly simple. Certainly as good a 2d game as you can find. I like Blue Max better but . . . just my preference. mjc |

Its ok but a bit outdated. The rumored new edition has been just that for many years. I know they have people working on updating plane stats and researching new planes and a few rules but it should not have taken this long. The pilot experience portion of the game is pretty decent. Overall I like it and would gladly play it any time. |
