Ludus in Tabula APS, in collaboration with Lucca Collezionando, with the support of the Italian Wargame Federation, and with the patronage of Ares Games and BlacKnight Editions, is pleased to announce the first date of the 2024 edition of “Wings of Glory European Master”. The event will take place at the Lucca Collezionando Festival on Sunday
the 24th of March.
Wings of Glory was born in 2004 with the aim of creating a simple aviation wargame; seeking to create a form of entertainment that could easily bring together multiple players at the same table. The premise is to give each player one or more model aeroplanes to ‘fly’ on the tabletop; planning their movements through the use of manoeuvre cards that are picked from a specific deck.
The game has expanded globally, having been translated into more than 20 languages, and can count numerous communities of players across the globe. The most active of these is “The Aerodrome”, whose more than six thousand passionate members organise meets in Prague (CZ), Doncaster (UK), and across the USA. At these meets they put forward scenarios and adaptations of their own design.
The European Master is by now an established format; starting in 2022 in Rome and then continuing at the European Convention for Wings of Glory in Prague the same year. The tournament circuit includes four events: Lucca (IT), Prague (CZ), Rome (IT), and Doncaster (UK); which welcome players from all across Europe who come together to challenge each other to World War One style dogfights.
Each event results in its own rank classification and awards for the top three pilots. These event rankings are then consolidated into an annual European classification to determine the best pilots for each edition.
The following events of this year’s edition are Prague (19/21 April), Rome (21/23 June), and Doncaster (27/29 September).
There are 40 places available at the Lucca event and as such it is imperative to sign up as soon as possible. To do so, one can contact Ludus in Tabula APS by sending the
