Up for sale is a beautifully preserved, pre-owned copy of The Burning Blue: The Battle of Britain, 1940, published by GMT Games in 2006. Designed by Lee Brimmicombe-Wood, this highly detailed tactical/operational simulation puts players in command of either the German Luftwaffe raids or the defensive RAF fighter command vectoring operations over southern England in the summer of 1940.

This copy is an exceptional, collector-grade set that has been meticulously organized. The extensive assortment of counters has been cleanly punched and neatly separated by faction and type into two multi-compartment black plastic storage inserts. Crucially, the main tactical reference/event card deck remains crisp, edge-perfect, and sealed in its original factory shrink-wrap.
