AirWar: 1940
 |
AirWar 1940 is the latest in our series of fun¸ fast play air warfare rules that cover the spirit of air combat whilst being a set that would be good for a newcomer to aerial wargaming¸ or for a more experienced "old hand” who wants a simple yet enjoyable set of rules to introduce new players.
After a couple of games reference to the rule book will become occasional with players concentrating on shooting down their opponents rather than ploughing through the sub-minutiae of clauses and appendices. The requirement for our rules is to provide a game that met the "5 minute rule” for explanation and the "45 minute rule” for game play.
The 41 page rulebook includes rules for aircraft characteristics¸ movement¸ special manoeuvres¸ dog fighting¸ ground attack¸ AA fire and even "auto-pilot” bomber formations so you can concentrate on the more fun aspect of shooting them down! There are also ratings for 254 aircraft era aircraft from thirteen nations¸ from the last bi-planes of the 1930's though to the first jets of the late 1940's and early '50's.
