Description

Canvas Falcons

Triplane: Air to Air Combat in World War One 1914-1918
Legion Condor: Air to Air Combat in Spain and China 1936-1939

This game is designed to be a good simulation of air to air combat; however it is also a role playing game of sorts. Each player controls a single aircraft. The aircraft are "flown" using 3 wheeled trolleys or stands to emulate the real flight characteristics of the airplane. The purpose of this game is to simulate air to air combat from the pilot's viewpoint. This game is designed so that the player merely 'flies' the combat aircraft. There are no rules mandating stupidity, bad play, or bad flying, that is left up to the talents of the gamer.

Scale:
