Eagle Leader: Tactical Air Operations

Eagle Leader: Tactical Air Operations is a solitaire air tactical board game that puts you in command of NATO strike and fighter squadrons in a Cold War gone hot.

Set in the late Cold War from the late 1970s through the early 1990s, you’ll plan and execute air campaigns using iconic aircraft like the F-15 Eagle, F-16 Viper, F-111 Aardvark, and F-15E Strike Eagle. Each operation begins at the planning table as you assign pilots, load the right mix of weapons, and select support aircraft such as AWACS, electronic warfare, and tankers to counter dense enemy defenses. During play, you’ll balance risk and reward as pilots gain experience, suffer stress, and either grow into elite aces or become too overworked to fly. Campaign scenarios link missions together into a larger war effort, rewarding careful resource management and long-term strategy as much as tactical success in the air. Available now at Boarding School Games—take command of a Cold War squadron.
