Birds of Prey: Air Combat in the Jet Age
A tactical air-combat game set in the jet age, with players maneuvering aircraft through three-dimensional dogfights. Flight performance is modeled with nomograms, while the Pitch, Heading, and Attitude Display tracks aircraft orientation, relative position, motion, and blind spots. Missiles follow their trajectories from launch using the flight system. Miniatures, tilt-blocks, and stacking tiles show altitude, pitch, roll, and heading, with a solo tutorial and laminated play aids supporting play.
