The Il-2 Shturmovik was a heavily-armoured attack plane used by the Soviet Union. It specialized in low-level attacks, and was occasionally pressed into service as a fighter. This set is a self-contained rulebook that includes miniatures for the Il-2 Shturmovik and includes four scenarios that reference other aircraft: Air and Bread: Attack a bridge on the Berezina river to slow down the invading German army. This is a standalone scenario using only the Il-2. Circle of Death: Il-2s form a defensive Lufbery circle against Bf-109F fighters. Anti-Transport: The Luftwaffe tries to supply by air, but has a shortage of transports. He-111 bombers are loaded with supplies and used instead. The Il-2 aircraft are assigned to shoot down the lumbering aircraft.. The airfield is defended by Bf-109F fighters. Zementbomber: Fight the battle of Kursk by attacking German tanks. Il-2 are escorted by Yak-7 fighters, but the Luftwaffe defends with Fw-190A fighters and counter-attacks Soviet tanks with Ju-88 bombers.
