Ploesti

These rules are unique in that they are really only applicable to one engagement during World War 2 - The low level raid on the oil fields at Ploesti, Rumania, on August 1, 1943 by 168 US B-24s flying from Africa.

While effort is being made to make these accessible, there are parts that refer to specific game components that will be difficult to figure out. If you have questions please get in touch.
