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 bombers, 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. This set is a self-contained rulebook that includes miniatures for the British heavy bomber Lancaster. In addition to the Lancaster bombers, this set also includes: ground targets for the city of Augsburg, Valentin U-boat factory, Mohne Dam, and Battleship Tirpitz. Spotlight templates as part of of the new night-fighting rules. Bomb hit and illumination markers. Flak templates. This set contains five scenarios. Operation Millennium: A mass of Lancasters brave spotlights and flak to attack Cologne at night. Augsburg: Unescorted Lancasters attack a German city. The Luftwaffe defends the city with Bf-109F fighters. Dambusters: In this low-level, night mission, Lancasters drop a special skip bomb to breach a dam in Germany s Ruhr Valley. Tirpitz: The German battleship Tirpitz sits crippled in a Norwegian fjord. Lancasters drop 12,000lb Tallboy bombs to sink her. Grand Slam: The 22,000lb earthquake bomb is used against the hardened Valentin U-boat factory. —description from the publisher
