London's Burning (game)

London's Burning is a solitaire board wargame published by Avalon Hill in 1995 and designed by Ben Knight, simulating the Battle of Britain, the aerial campaign fought over southern England between the Royal Air Force and the German Luftwaffe in 1940. The game is built primarily for a single player, who directs RAF fighter squadrons responding to incoming German raids, though it includes optional two-player rules in which a second participant controls the attacking German aircraft, or in which both players cooperate together as RAF pilots. As a solitaire aviation combat simulation, it represents a design approach common among Avalon Hill's wargame catalog in the 1990s, giving history-minded players a way to explore a specific historical air campaign without requiring an opponent, while still preserving the tactical decision-making of a full two-sided conflict game.
