Mustang Leader is based on Zero Leader and Stuka Leader, expanding gameplay from the previous games. You are in command of an American Fighter squadron in Europe during World War Two, with aircraft including the P-38 Lightning, P-47 Thunderbolt and of course, the very famous P-51 Mustang.
You will need to select the right mix of pilots and aircraft under your command in order to carry out the different types of missions. Each Pilot has his own strengths and weakness represented. Each aircraft has its advantages and disadvantages.
This game also expands additional aspects of American operations such as Range, wounds, and bail outs. There is a brand-new campaign sheet and redesigned tactical display, which will present a different feel to the well-established Leader gameplay.
