Core Mechanics & Features
While out of print copies of the game and expansions are still available for purchase new or used.
Fighting the Phoenix The book provides comprehensive coverage of the air war between Iran and Iraq from 1980 to 1988 under one cover with nine campaigns and 29 scenarios. The scenarios, featuring 22 different fighter, bomber, and helicopter types in 30 variants plus multiple SAM and patrol boat models, can be played individually, linked to form campaigns, or combined as one grand campaign.
Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club! The book provides comprehensive coverage of the clashes between the United States Navy and North Vietnam’s Peoples Air Force between 1965 and 1968 during Operation Rolling Thunder with four campaigns, a mini-campaign and 28 scenarios. The scenarios can be played individually, linked to form campaigns, or combined as one grand campaign. The campaigns cover the battles that occurred during the annual southern monsoon fighting season. The missions changed during the course of Rolling Thunder, so each campaign is different.
Crisis In Kashmir! The book provides comprehensive coverage of the 1965 air war between India and Pakistan with 19 scenarios. The scenarios pit the evenly matched Hawker Hunter and F-86F Sabre against each other in tense maneuvering combat – will Pakistan’s new AIM-9B Sidewinder missiles prove to be the edge needed to carry the day? The book also features the first combat employment of the F-104A Starfighter and MiG-21 Fishbed, following these two legendary fighters in a face-off over the foothills of the Himalayas. Scenarios include the diminutive and quirky Folland Gnat, which gained a reputation in the hands of the Indian Air Force as the “Sabre Slayer.” Canberra bombers flying against Sabres in a do-or-die mission and the final air-to-air engagement of the deHavilland Vampire are likewise covered in exciting scenarios. The book showcases massive cannon armament against the effectiveness of the promising but unproven AIM-9B Sidewinder missile – and the outcome is always a surprise! Whatever you do…don’t make a mistake…
Star and Pyramid The book provides comprehensive coverage of the air wars between Israel and Egypt between 1966 and 1973 under one cover with five campaigns and 27 scenarios. The scenarios can be played individually, linked to form campaigns, or combined as one grand campaign.

A bonus mini-campaign is also included that covers US Navy and Marine operations from 3 July 1950 to 18 November 1952. The book also features some of the Korean War’s top aces including James Jabara, George Davis, Frederick “Boots” Blesse, Boris Bokach, Gregorii Ges, Nikolay Ivanov, and Li Han. The scenarios can be played individually, linked to form mini-campaigns, or combined as one grand campaign.
