Anyone play these rules? Comments?

Has anyone expanded the aircraft stats from the 1.3 version to include additional aircraft?

I'm looking for a fairly simple set of rules that allows a large number of players and aircraft and these look like they will fit. Let me know your experiences.

Haven't played these, but try the Blue Sky series – fits your parameters to a 'T'.

I haven't played them either but plan to do so at some point having played other rules and not found what I'm looking for.

Mark, the chap behind Raiden, is very helpful so I'm sure he'd be able to give you a run down on the rules and how he workd out the aircraft stats if you emailed him via the Raiden site.

Apparently, they're very quick and quite bloody, so they should fit with what you're looking for.

Where does one find 'Thunderbolt & Lightning'? I'd like to take a look.

Dave,

How about a try out? Either your Continuation War stuff or my Battle of Britain set up?

Has anyone found out how to work out stats for other aircraft? I've tried to contact Raiden by the email provided on the rule book, but I have yet recieved a response.

As for the rules they are great. Fast play with alot of aircraft and players.

Thanks!

Raiden was sold to I-95 a couple of years ago, so your e-mail might simply be going to a defunct e-mail address.
