Description

Thunderbolt Apache Leader puts you in the cockpits of the world's best Close Air Support aircraft, where you'll hunt enemy tanks and troops while dodging their fire. This game takes you on 8 campaigns across the globe, with historically accurate aircraft and weapons. You'll plan missions, deciding which pilots to fly and how to arm your aircraft, taking into account pilot fatigue and skill levels. As you fly, you'll engage enemy forces using an area movement system, with terrain cards generating each battlefield. You'll resolve every missile launch and air-to-ground attack, making tough choices about which targets to prioritize. With rugged aircraft that can survive multiple attacks, you'll need to balance loitering over targets with the risk of damage. The game offers immense replayability, with unique environments created by pairing Tactical Situation and Campaign cards, making each campaign a new challenge.
