Table Air Combat: P-47D Thunderbolt

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.

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.

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 P-47D Thunderbolt is fast, heavy, tough, and packs heavy armament. It lacks the agility of other fighters,but excells with energy fighting.  This the late-war P-47D-25 version with a Malcolm bubble canopy for excellent rear visiblity.    

This set is a self-contained rulebook that includes miniatures for the P-47 and includes two scenarios that reference other aircraft:

Training: A duel between two flights of P-47D Thunderbolts

Dogfight: Thunderbolts engage Fw-190A fighters in a head-on attack.

Targets of Opportunity:  P-47s conduct low level attacks against randomly-planed ground targets, while Bf-109G fighters defend.

This set contains only the P-47D-25. Other aircraft referenced in the scenarios are sold separatel
