Always Above WW1 Air combat rules
By
John Blenkey
A highly entertaining set of rules which can be used with any model aircraft approximately 1/144 scale.
The author had the opportunity to interview several pilots from WW1 in the 1980s and these conversations helped fram these rules. The result is a set of fun rules with the feel of realism too.
Major Edward Mannock VC, of 74 Squadron RFC, flew by a set of self imposed rules one of them being, “always above, seldom level, never below.” Rules remembered by the new members of the squadron and which often saved their lives. These rules will encourage the gamer to follow this sage advice. The rules were play tested using a popular card driven mechanism however the author has created his own version using MDF tiles and these rules are included in this version along with aircraft stats.
Tiles, measuring sticks and control panel are available separately.
High quality soft cover rule book with a selection of original photos from the authors collection. Flying and combat rules with lists for many of the aircraft from both sides.
Full set of flying tiles for aircraft of different capabilities.
Card holder with ammo slots and modifiers.
