FLIGHT INSTRUCTIONS
LET'S BOMB NAZI EUROPE!
Planes "take off" either from London or Moscow. Ten times each player operates one plane by the roll of the dice with the object being to attain the highest possible number of points as designated by the number on each enemy city.
Let us suppose for the first flight one player decides to bomb Berlin and obtain four points. He might place his plane (wood part) at London and roll the dice at his turn. Taking the shortest possible route from London to Berlin the plane would "fly" along the printed track. If, however, after a dice roll the plane stops pn a solid square, it is considered shot down and removed from the board and the turn is lost.
Each player is allowed ten raids to objectives of his choice, the raids always commencing either at London or Moscow. At the termination of the ten turns each, scores are tabulated with the highest winning.
