Flying Tigers over Burma:
Peter's Burma game: Japanese army vs. Flying Tigers.
Using Peter's excellent planes and stands, each Japanese controled a fighter (Nate) and a bomber (Sally). The bombers had a slower movement card, and a limited set on moves (straight, stall and side slip). Also, pilot wounds had you plot a 3 card sequence
making the advanced rule for this less cumbersome for convention play.
Here's the Japanese setup
Here's Glenn (Jago85) and Dave (Caveman) killing time while waiting to kill bombers.
American setup: Each american player had a p-40.
In the opening moves, a Nate tries to hold off a P-40:
And gets smoked! (house rule: all smoke chits drawn against Japanese fighters are a fire chit!)
I manage to deftly maneuver myself into a shot...just not mine!
Thankfully, P-40s are faster than Nates
And the wolves start to chase down the elks.
Not without some opposition, mind you.
An air pirate maneuvers into close ranged shot.
And I start to smoke
Bob makes his approach on another smoker

Bob, back from Valhalla, takes a long ranged stab at my Nate, and snuffs me out.
