The purpose of fighter aircraft is the destruction of enemy aircraft.

– U.S. Navy Fighter Manual

Welcome to a different type of air-combat game. A game of teamwork, planning, opportunity and luck.

Each element rolls six performance dice to determine their opportunities for the next minute. The dice are modified by pilot skill and aircraft capabilities. Are you in a Zero? You probably want to get in close and mix it up. Are you in a Corsair? A slashing attack strategy should work just fine. Movement is by area, and maneuvers are abstracted so the game doesn't slow down. You need to think and act fast when you are moving over 300 mph!

A 4 v 4 game will play in under an hour. Game includes stats for 62 models of fighters and 19 bombers from the U.S., U.K., Germany, Japan, Italy and France. As a bonus, 11 aircraft cards are included for late-war U.S. and German aircraft.

All my earnings from this product go the the food banks of Hampton Roads, Virginia, U.S.A.

Thank You!
