88th BOMBER GROUP (H)
“POWER TO SHATTER”
This is a play by e-mail event using the solitaire board game, “B-17, Queen of the Skies” published by the Avalon Hill Game company circa 1983. The subject of this virtual Bomb Group campaign game covers the strategic bombing campaign carried out by the US 15th Air Force from Dec. 1943-to-April 1945. The game represents the missions of individual B-17 bombers and their crews as they attempt to fly the necessary 50 missions in order to earn their ticket home.
Avalon Hill is owned by Hasbro and “B-17: Queen of the Skies” is a Trademark ™ of Hasbro, Inc.
Based on an idea by Steve Dixon, creator and web master of the 400th BG, the original B-17 virtual campaign site.
Special thanks to Joseph ‘Jay’ Haygood, creator and web master of the 200th BG, a B-24 virtual campaign game site, for his help in answering my many questions in getting this all started.
Promotions, awards, modified B-3 chart and mission formation game concepts, kill & bomb marks and some site looks/layouts are used with the kind permission of Scott Settlemire, web master & creator of the 99th BG virtual campaign site, “Thunder from the South”.
