Table Air Combat: Spitfire II

TABLE AIR COMBAT

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. 

Watch how to play here 

A player uses a flight of four aircraft 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.

Fast and agile, the Spitfire was slightly superior to is arch rival Bf-109.  This early-war version has eight .303 machine guns and defended Great Britain from the Luftwaffe in 1940. 
 

This set is a self-contained rulebook that includes miniatures for the Spitfire II and includes three scenarios that reference other aircraft:

Training:  A two-versus-two battle between Spitfires

First Contact:  Spitfires engage Bf-109E fighters over the Dunkirk evacuation beach

Scramble:  Bf-109E escort Ju-87 Stukas to British targets.  The RAF intercepts with Spitfires.

Idiotreihen: A squadron of Spitfires flying in "vic" formations gets bounced by Bf-109E 

Black Thursday:  Formations of He-111 bombers and by Bf-110C escorts are intercepted by Spitfires over the North Sea

This ruleset contains only the Spitfire II.  Other aircraft references must be purchased separately.
