Playing area: two mats will be used, placed side by side, 140cm wide and 100cm deep.

1 PORT
In a war of attrition, denying your enemy their supplies will increase your army’s chance of victory. Your main objective is to destroy the enemy port. Secondary objective is the bridge. Third objective is the convoy.

Set up: both players place a red dot card to represent his Port. A second red dot card will be placed, representing a bridge on a transport route to the frontlines. A third card representing a convoy is also placed. These objectives may be placed anywhere on his rear edge, at least one range ruler from the rear edge and one range ruler from sides. Each player’s fighter interceptors are up patrolling and are deployed using random deployment. Each player’s bombers deploy anywhere on his base edge.

The Port and the Bridge can only be destroyed by bombs. The convoy can be destroyed by bombs or strafing. Scoring: partially destroyed port = 3 VP, fully destroyed port = 7 VP, partially destroyed bridge = 2 VP, fully destroyed bridge = 5 VP. Partially destroyed convoy = 1 VP, fully destroyed convoy = 3 VP. Destroyed dive bomber = 2VP, destroyed fighter = 3 VP, destroyed twin engined bomber = 5 VP, destroyed heavy bomber = 7VP.

# half VP are awarded for bombers reduced to half health.

# strafing points! = each objective/convoy card has 10 health points

2 AIRFIELD
Bombing raids on enemy airfields help achieve air superiority. Your objective is to destroy the enemy aircraft on the ground and their Airfield.

Set up: each player places his airfield anywhere on his rear edge, at least a range ruler from the rear edge and one range ruler from sides. Each player launches a bomber attack against the enemy Airfield. Bombers deploy anywhere on your own baseline. Fighter interceptors are on the ground at your Airfield and are scrambled as follows. On turn 1 each player rolls a die for each plane on the ground. On a 5+ a plane begins to taxi down the runway. On each following turn add a die until a 5+ is rolled. Taxying planes use a fast straight maneuver card each turn. When a plane passes the end of the runway it lifts off, gaining one altitude peg.

The Airfield can only be destroyed by bombs. Enemy aircraft can be destroyed by bombs or strafing. Scoring: partially destroyed airfield = 3 VP, fully destroyed airfield = 7 VP. Destroyed dive bomber = 2VP, destroyed fighter = 3 VP, destroyed twin engined bomber = 5VP, destroyed heavy bomber = 7VP. Aircraft hit on the ground by bombs are considered fully destroyed.

# half VP are awarded for bombers reduced to half health.

3 CONVOY
An army cannot fight without ammunition and supplies. Destroy the enemy convoy and deny the enemy their supplies.

Set up: Each player places 3 objective/convoy cards in a line on the left half of his edge. They deploy planes anywhere on their edge. Each player’s objective is to move their convoy to the opposite edge whilst attempting to bomb the enemy convoy. Convoys move as follows; each turn advance the convoy the length of a small manoeuvre card. Convoys may change direction during a move by pivoting on either corner of the front of the convoy.

The Convoy can be destroyed by bombs or strafing. Scoring: destroyed dive bomber = 2VP, destroyed fighter = 3 VP, destroyed twin engined bomber = 5VP, destroyed heavy bomber = 7VP. Partially destroyed enemy convoy = 4 VP, fully destroyed enemy convoy = 7 VP. Friendly convoy reaching the opposite edge = 7VP.

# half VP are awarded for bombers reduced to half health.

# strafing points! = each objective/convoy card has 10 health points
