Flight Leader

Fighter combat simulation of jet-to-jet conflicts from the 1950s through the 1980s. Players command individual aircraft in scenarios based on the Korean, Vietnam, Middle East, India-Pakistan, and Falklands Wars, or create their own engagements. Turns represent thirty seconds of combat on a hex map, with rules covering energy, fuel, altitude, formation, terrain, radar, visual sightings, pilot quality, and weapons systems. Basic, advanced, and optional rules provide layered complexity for two to eight players.
