Air Strike: Modern Air Combat for the Whole Family

A perfect stone-simple game for getting people to sit down and move things around a table. Begging for house rules and family mods to increase whatever you feel is missing. Could play anywhere you have a card deck and even call it 'space combat' if you liked.

Bought it and read it. It is as it says, there isn't a simpler game of jets out there. Perfect to play with kids / people not used to wargames. Easy to add new rules (already made a new system for damage, 3 stats for planes so it makes a difference which you use and some maneuvres to spice up the gameplay). Haven't tested the set yet in a game per se, but by how it works, I believe the 10 minute per game mark and I like the idea of a plane per player. Not recommended for people that dont like alternative systems for dice, this uses poker cards, it reminds me of Wings of Glory with it's use of cards instead of dice. Have to say the "optional rules" part is formatted weirdly, even somewhat confusing, but since the rules are so easy it's not a biggie,I would dare to say that this, even though it takes more pages, it's easier than FUBAR, I really mean it. Also I think it's a fair price, even though it's just like 7 pages, it includes paper counters and the pdf is quite gorgeous for what it is. If you, like me, use 1/600 planes, a coffee table is more than enough making it be an amazing "on the go" wargame, can be played almost anywhere with just two planes, a poker deck and something to measure. If you want to spice up I recommend adding a number damage system, special maneuvers depending on the movement card and giving some planes more resilience or speed than usual. Also making counters is easy, just buy some 1/300 missiles, put them in a base and write the appropiate code, there ya go.
