AtC: Missile Age
Missile Ag e is an expansion product for Above the Clouds! (which is required for use). Missile Age takes air combat beyond the age of gunfighters which fought in the skies over Korea¸ incorporating early missile armed air combat. In addition to expanding the rules to cover missile combat between aircraft (including RADAR¸ rudimentary ECM¸ etc.)¸ Missile Age also adds ground-to-air combat including mass FlaK battery barrages¸ individual anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) sites¸ Surface to Air Missiles (SAMs)¸ and Man-Portable Air Defense missiles (ManPADs). While we were at it¸ we decided to incorporate some opotional rules for Above the Clouds ¸ some based uopn suggestions from veteran players. These include an alternate maneuver order¸ limitations for tailing friendly aircraft¸ and non-simultaneous gun combat resolution. Missile Age includes the first scenario package¸ Route Pack 6 ¸ which covers the air combat which occured in South-East Asia from the mid 1960s and 1970s. Route Pack 6 contains aircraft performance displays (APDs) for 28 aircraft¸ 4 models of Air-to-Air Missile (including 20 versions of those missiles)¸ and one SAM system¸ the SA-2 (in 4 versions).
