Table Air Combat is a fast, simple air combat game that can be played on any flat surface. Each ruleset is a self-contained game including cut-out miniatures of one aircraft and a set of rules. All you need are some six-sided dice and some coins to provide weight for the aircraft counters. 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. 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. The Bf-110 was ineffective as an escort fighter but served as an exceptional night fighter. The twin-engine design allowed radar set to be installed in the nose. This was operated by the second crewman, who also operated the tail gun. This set contains the BF-110G4, the definitive Zerstroyer night fighter. Also included is the Bf-110G2, a daylight heavy fighter which trades the high-drag radar antenna for a higher maximum speed. This set is a self-contained rulebook with miniatures for the Bf-110G and four scenarios. Viermot: Engage a daylight raid of B-17 Flying Fortresses with air-to-air rockets. P-47 Thunderbolts escort the bombers. Schrade Music: Attack a formation of Lancaster bombers at night using upward-firing cannon. Jabo vs. Jabo: Engage Il-2 and Yak-7 while protecting tanks on the Russian Front. Zahme Sau: Bf-110 and Bf-109G night fighters use spotlights to engage a regenerating stream of Lancaster bombers. —description from the publisher
