Scott Bogen posted a blog postUnboxing B-29 Superfortress
In my just-released episode 7 of The Board Game Show podcast, I un-box B-29 Superfortress by Legion Wargames:In the late 80’s I hovered over an imaginary bomber crew and conducted make-believe, yet mostly historical missions over WWII Germany.
