Are these rules still available? I know they were self published but can't find a distributor. Gridley

I believe Brigade Miniatures carries the full line of Watch Your 6 rules and scenarios. Cheers, Peter

Well, as far as I know Watch Your Six is a World War I set of rules. Check Your Six (which was initially called Watch Your Six until they found out it was already in use) is the absolute best WW II dogfight rules out there, and Brigade does indeed carry them and all the scenario books. They are well supported rules with a great Yahoo group and fairly regular new publications.

Absolute best is a bit of claim! It has its good points….somewhere :)

I have found the rules to be an excellent balance between the Red Sun/Blue Sky series and the Fighting Wings Series.
