Aces High: War in the Air 1914 - 1918
Take flight in this hex-and-counter wargame of dogfights in the skies of World War I. Players plot simultaneous movement and engage in aerial combat across missions including reconnaissance, bombing, and balloon busting. Rules cover stalls, spins, unreliable engines, aircrew quality, spotting, and anti-aircraft fire, with data for 72 aircraft types. Pilot grades affect how much movement experienced aces can withhold, allowing them to react after other pilots complete their plotted moves.
