Table Air Combat is a fast, simple air combat game that can be played on any flat surface. All you need are some six-sided dice and some coins to provide weight for the aircraft counters. Everything else can be printed from this ruleset.
Each player has a flight of four fighters, represented by two counters. Aircraft counters move by means of curved “performance rulers” that represent the aircraft’s historical cornering ability and maximum speed.
Each performance ruler is unique to each aircraft, and contains all the speed, cornering, and weapon information needed.
TAC is designed for portability: the entire game can fit in a plastic bag. Even the largest battles can take place on a fast-food restaurant table.
Each aircraft is sold separately. This set contains the Me-262 Schwalbe, the first jet fighter used in combat.
Scenarios include:
•Dogfight: A flight of Me-262 fighters goes head-to-head with a flight of P-51D Mustangs
•Bomber Interception: Assisted by Bf-109G fighters, Me-262s attack a formation of B-17F bombers and their P-51D escorts.
•Vulched: A low-flying Me-262 is preparing to land when ambushed by a roving P-47D fighter.
