Squadron Leader (Compact)

I printed a bunch of these for my Board Game Club and decided to cook up a much better enclosure.

Squadron Leader?

Squadron Leader is a fast pace World War 1 (loosely) themed aerial combat game that is easy to learn and quick to play, with multifaceted strategy built in that can be enjoyed by all ages!

The modular nature of the rules allows for players to customize their game and add entirely new layers of strategy.

The Box

The box is designed so no parts can come loose. If you pick up the box and shake it really hard nothing will dislodge. The planes are held in place by some hex wedges and the dice physically cannot get over the edge within the box.

Stat tracker?

Note the current rules say you should use a stat tracker or website to keep track of your health, but I find it much simpler to use a single additional die to keep track of your health. I suggest green, see next section.

Non-Printed Parts (aka vitamins)

You can either use 12mm or 16mm dice, but you need to print the correct box_base.

• (4) Red 12mm Attack Dice (I used these)
• (4) Blue 12mm Defense Dice (I used these)
• (5) Green 12mm Health Dice, one for each player (I used these)
• (1) Folded copy of the Rules (available here)

Total cost is about 3$ in dice and 3$ of filament per game.

Printing

• Color changes are baked into the attached 3mf file at the correct heights.
• Print 5 copies of the planes and 1 of everything else.
• No Supports
