Came out within the past 15 years, saw it on a game store shelf and always regretted never buying it because it was only $30. Was either a board or a card game, but came in a smaller box. You commanded a Luftwaffe bomber force in an alternative 1946 where Germany was still in the war and planning bombing raids on mainland US targets using Amerika bomber bombers from the Azores. I forget if it was 2 players or single player, but if 2 players the other person commanded US defenses. ---

Was it Amerika Bomber: Evil Queen of the Skies? I see it on eBay for $300; $30 looks like a good deal now. > **[Amerika Bomber: Evil Queen of the Skies](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/286114/amerika-bomber-evil-queen-of-the-skies)** > > The Fuehrer brings war to the Yankee mainland via the Luftwaffe's long reach. ---

That is probably it – it didn’t show in my search as I did 1-2 players. Brian ---

That is a miniatures game published in 2003 – so maybe, but seems a bit outside parameters. Brian ---

This was it, thanks! I have an incredible knack for finding rare and expensive things at second-hand shops or garage sales for a deep discount and not buying them. Also I did look at the instruction manual via a scan and while it’s intended for single player there are modules for 2 player modes which is what also tripped up my searches. ---

If you like solo WW2 board games, try the _Ambush!_ series from Avalon Hill subsidiary Victory Games. I regretted leaving mine with my parents so I picked up the base game + all modules from eBay a while back. If only we had a large enough area where I can play without the kitties trying to play as well. ---

Haha yeah I own multiple cats and board games are impossible to play without a locked room because they instantly want to sleep on the game board.
