Game of Drones
The high-pitched whine of an FPV drone is the modern equivalent of the Stuka siren from the Second World War. From a clear blue sky, a drone appears, traveling so fast that it nearly outpaces the noise of its motors. Those who hear it may have only seconds to live. Drones have changed the face of modern warfare.
Game of Drones™ is a trademark of Historic Wings & Thomas Van Hare. It is a solitaire wargame set in Russia’s Ukraine War during the Summer of 2024. The game puts you in command of a four-person Ukrainian drone team fighting against Russian forces in Donetsk.

Game of Drones™ is a trademark of Historic Wings & Thomas Van Hare. It is a solitaire wargame set in Russia’s Ukraine War during the Summer of 2024. The game puts you in command of a four-person Ukrainian drone team fighting against Russian forces in Donetsk.
To begin, you name your drone team. Examples of actual combat teams in Ukraine are: “Asgard”, “Sky Lords”, “Code 9.2”, “Limbo”, “Magyar”, and “Peaky Blinders”. Then you equip your team with upgraded equipment and deploy into combat along the zero line. Your brigade HQ directs you to search for certain types of Russian forces. When you spot them, you may call for artillery fire, drop bomblets and bombs with your drone bombers, including oversized Baba Yagas, or perform direct attack missions with FPV drones.
