October 16th, 2025 - MicroProse is proud to announce that the Kickstarter campaign for B-17 Flying Fortress: The Bloody 100th Board Game is now live.
Based on the legendary WWII flight simulator, this new board game edition brings the tension, teamwork, and heroism of the bomber crews of the Eighth Air Force to the tabletop.
Players lead their B-17 Flying Fortress and its crew through the flak-filled skies of Europe, facing relentless Luftwaffe attacks, unpredictable weather, and the ever-present risk of mission failure.
Inspired by real history and designed as a cooperative strategy experience, B-17 Flying Fortress: The Bloody 100th challenges players to balance tactical decisions and teamwork under pressure. Every mission is a story of courage, survival, and camaraderie - a tribute to the airmen whose bravery reshaped history.
“This project is more than a game,” said Davide Pessach, MicroProse's CMO. “It’s a salute to the extraordinary men of The Bloody 100th. We wanted to capture their experience - the fear, the determination, and the brotherhood — in a way that players can truly feel at the table.”
The Kickstarter campaign features multiple pledge tiers, offering a range of options for backers who want to join the mission from day one. Full details, including gameplay previews and developer insights, can be found directly on the campaign page.
Join the mission today and experience history, strategy, and survival at 25,000 feet.
