An honourable entry into the air games pantheon, though later superceded by superior titles. Credit should be given for the massive array of aircraft available and the huge number of scenarios.

I enjoyed this greatly when it came out. The flight mechanics were completely different to what I'd seen before, it was simple to play and so easy to get into. The quality of the components left a lot to be desired though. Subsequently overtaken in quality, realism and complexity by other games.

This came out while I was in the process of designing Air Superiority after getting frustrated trying to find opponents for Air War. I immediately grabbed it and played for several days, dissecting its rules. It helped teach me that a jet air combat game didn't have to be super detailed ala Air War, and helped me adjust my complexity balance as I worked on Air Superiority. Thus, thanks to the designer for showing me some possibilities..Since Air Sup. was well on the way to publication, and I was sure it was going to do the job better, I never played it again. For ease of play It should be rated a 6 or 7, but the horrible cheap components and production standard of the publisher, Lou Zocchi, turned off myself and probably many other potential players/buyers. Too bad, it had potential. Its long out of print, and out of date now. Though there are rumors the designer wants to redo it.

Plays better than Air Superiority, though some would say at the expense of detail and realism. I don't. I think its just the right mix.
