Long DescriptionOver the past fifty years, many historical wargames have come and gone. Over the decades, there have been a few big sellers that have enjoyed great and lasting popularity, becoming classics There are a few other games that may have never enjoyed widespread notice, but which have nonetheless endured due to a particularly devoted following. The DAWN PATROL game is certainly one of those. In fact, not only is the game still played despite being out of print since the mid-1980s (a situation that will hopefully be rectified with a new 8th Edition to be published in the future), but it also boasts its own club! The FIGHT IN THE SKIES Society, with over 100 members, dates back to 1969 — and its player magazine, the AERODROME, has published more than 190 issues. What is it about this amazing wargame that accounts for this remarkable record and the loyalty of its devoted following?
