With props to PhoenixW who I'm totally ripping off:
To start off, ignore any incoming attacks and get 10 recruiters. Let a turn go by. Look at your areas, and for each 5% missing, get a builder and put them there. Focus on builder and recruiters. You need one builder per 5% damage. Don't lose any part of the city. 10-15 builders or so should be enough to keep you in shape until you win.
Now focus on getting to 8 workers and 10 gatherers. You need to gather to build. Keep 1.2-1.5 gatherers to builders. Then produce spitfires only. With enough builders you don't need firemen. Repair any damage and you don't need fireman.
Keep your spies around 45. Replace them each day.
Then build pilots and planes and start attacking. If you don't put planes in the air you won't lose them. If you're getting your butt kicked in the air and are almost out of planes or pilots, let the builders take over damage control while you build up your resources.

Spies inform me exactly where the attack will be and by how many aircraft - check. Finally have enough Spitfires and pilots to defend city with a sizable force - check. Dispatch 18 Spitfires to defend against 25 German aircraft - check. ALL 18 SPITFIRES GET SHOT DOWN. Stop playing game and give it one star - check.

yes! american aid to the rescue, back when it was given to countries who deserved it and would use it well instead of putting it in their own pockets!

Game gives you way too few options and resources to work with at the beginning. Feels like you start out with a Banana Republic instead of Great Britain. It depends too much on chance and lucky guesses compared to strategy aspect. Hmmpf, basically a very promising game, but too annoying to keep me interested. 2/5 (barely)

Nice little game, enjoyed it thanks. It seems a little buggy, a couple times I got told a city was destroyed in the Blitz, but it wasn't and then playing the next round the city is ok with 100% health, other than that a nice game.

bah there some people on here who are total non gamers if your looking for history look somewhere else. there plenty of games now for RAF and among other things, Did you know PaxCanadiana there was never a Resistance of Germans story game ever made. They think the germans had no such thing to this day they have army made up same principles of german resistance you have live in "NOW" and think about future, Now if want to rave I got one military I rave about in UK its SAS or SAS-R they are so cool...they make terrorist scream oh my god...they are here send back up immediately...dude...if SAS really hear that on the radios I suggest them to bomb and send going away present to so called al queda...its annoying...that media monster mash make all military secret operation sects seem so evil. They have no idea they are protecting from greater evil in this world. But trying to live in now....try not to post too many or the author of game will ban your comments.

good game, would love it if we saw net metal gain. instead of +4 planes and +4100 metal, it should show +4 planes +100 metal, because its hard to see if you need more/less collectors.

There were actually no other types of British fighters during that time
but there was the Defiant,with a 4-mg turret at the back but it was ineffective,so with was removed from battle at the first days of the Battle of Britain

Overall, the game was O.K., but it had a few major flaws. It wasn't realistic enough, first of all. As others have said, the planes knocked out are not decided by any real factor, its just chance, and the british always get the better of the germans. The german numerical superiority was not really all that well shown, either. Next, as others have said, the British rarely had the better of the engagement, so it seems pretty ridiculous that they always do in this game. Then, I don't like the strategy much either. The strategy the british actually used involved attacking the german bombers AFTER they had bombed the cities, taking the element of surprise. The british strategy for the BoB was essentially bleeding the germans until they could no longer afford it. The real triumph of the battle was industry, not the pilots, which was not shown all that well.

so basically when i hold off 5 attacks at once with a bunch of planes i get a negative effect at the start of the next turn.but if i do no defending at all i'll get 10 pilots or spies or 10% intel increase? thats ........... dumb.
