Table Air Combat: B-25J Mitchell

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 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. 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 B-25 and contains three scenarios that reference other aircraft: Railyard: Bomb the flak-defended railroad marshaling yards at Littoria, Italy. Dolittle Raid: Bolster American morale with a daring strike against Tokyo. Ki-43 fighters defend. Bridge over River Po: Cut supply lines by destroying the rail bridge into Piacenza, Italy. The bridge is defended by Bf-109G of the German Luftwaffe
