Description

Fast play air-to-air combat miniatures game for WWII planes similar to the game Instant Thunder. The game uses a rectangular grid with playing card suits marking 4 rows and cards K to A marking 14 columns.

Planes have individual flight characteristics for vertical and lateral movement, as well as armament and structural points.

Each turn a card is drawn for each plane to place it onto the grid on the appropriate space. Planes may be able to move to a different space by drawing a new card that must be lower than its movement rating. Thereafter shooting is performed in a similar fashion. At the end of each turn, the planes are removed from the grid, so may reappear on an entirely new angle of attack the following turn.

Rules provide many optional rules and very complete aircraft statistics.
