Description

Birds of Prey: Air Combat in the Jet Age is a game that drops you right into the midst of a high-stakes dogfight. With its innovative flight mechanics, you'll feel like you're really soaring through the skies, making sharp turns and narrow escapes. The game's use of graphical computers, or nomograms, makes it easy to track the performance of different aircraft, and the Pitch, Heading, and Attitude Display, or PHAD, helps you keep tabs on the orientation of your plane in three dimensions. As you play with up to 7 other friends, you'll be fully immersed in the world of jet combat, with laminated play-aids and full-color box-miniatures bringing the action to life. With playtime ranging from 120 to 480 minutes, you can expect a thrilling and challenging experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat. While the rules may take some time to learn, even for experienced gamers, the end result is well worth the effort.
