Title: What Reasonably simple Dogfight Rule set for Interwar?
Post by: GrumpyOldMan on 24 July 2015, 01:37:59 AM
Hello All

Taking advantage of the Shapeways Zero Postage promotion, I've bought some of the Interwar aircraft and I was looking at getting my boys involved. So I'm looking for a reasonably simple set that aren't too bloody or bloody-minded.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Hear, hear. We have had many a good Winter War 1939 game with Scramble. Fokker D.XXIs and I-153s are technically inter-war planes, I suppose.
Cheers,

Have you considered "Check Your Six!"? Award-winning game, very popular, simple yet elegant, good for up to about 4 fighters per player? (Bombers pretty much fly themselves.)

Haven't tried it yet but this is free on wargamevault:

You can see if you like it and if it would work for more advanced technology?



edit: just spotted this in the wargame vault sale:

I don't own these rules, but I sometimes play with their AC21 ( for modern jets) and I really like the games !

( very simple and fun )
I think AirWar 1917 is similar..

Hello All

Thanks for your replies. Given me much to have a look at. As we all know the consideration, mulling and research are almost as much fun as playing the games  :D.

Cheers and thanks again.
