In this season finale, 10 players engage in a multi-table wargame to recreate the events of April 21, 1918--the last flight of the Red Baron. Before the game, Tom and Tony unpack some enduring myths about Manfred von Richthofen's legendary career and visit the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum in Washington DC.

Then we head to the tabletop and allow two teams of players to plan missions across four sectors of the Somme River valley for a series of eight engagements. We'll be using "Wings of Glory" from Ares Games to play the scenario. Will Richthofen and his Flying Circus survive to fight another day, or will Captain Roy Brown and the RAF repeat history?

Next week we will review "Wings of Glory" in detail and explore the rules thoroughly. As a part of this episode, we're giving away a free starter rule box for the game! On April 10th we'll pick a random comment on this video. All you have to do is tell us your favorite WW1 aircraft in the comments below to be eligible! (Guys at our club will pay out of pocket to ship this anywhere in the USA. If our random winner is outside the USA, we may ask you to help cover some of the shipping cost. Just FYI.)
