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.
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.

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.

Each aircraft is sold separately. Only pay for the ones you want, and print out as many copies as you need to create your own epic WWII air battle.

The Nakajima B5N2 "Kate" was a carrier-based torpedo bomber.

This set is a self-contained rulebook that includes miniatures for the Nakajima B5N "Kate" and contains three scenarios that reference other aircraft:

 Battle of the Coral Sea:  B5N torpedo bombers escorted by A6M2 Zeroes attack the USS Lexington.  The carrier is defended by a F4F-F Wildcats.
 Battle of Santa Cruz Island: The badly-damaged USS Hornet is being towed by the cruiser USS Northampton.  Now a strike force of B5N torpedo bombers and A6M2 Zeroes arrive to finish her off.  F4F-F Wildcats defend both ships.
 Midway: Attack the carrier USS Yorktown with A6M2 escorts while avoiding F4F-F Wildcats and flak.
