We do a deep dive first look at two solo World War 2 wargames: 8th Air Force and 20th Air Force. We also compare and contrast these two games from Fortress Games and designed by Bob Phaneuf. 8th Air Force is a solo (solitaire) wargame where you manage the US 8th Air Force in its bombing campaign over Germany in World War 2. 20th Air Force is a solo (solitaire) wargame where you manage the US 20th Air Force in its bombing campaign over Japan.
