Also, if you want solo, check out B-17 Flying Fortress Leader from DVG.  It's card driven and great!

Need to get my hands on a copy of this....

Think I'm leaning toward the DVG games. Seems like for $100 or so you get quite a lot of planes (minus Italy).

DiF seems a little deeper than Table Air Combat and it's looking like WoG WW2 is hard to find these days.

Man, I wish I had some of your deep pockets you guys seem to have here!  :dreamer:

DiF is fun, but not really a solo game.


I noticed DVG is close to bringing out their new Cold War version of DiF.   Been eyeing the gameplay previews with F-4s and MiG-21s.  :coolsmiley:

If you're on a tight budget the planes (which in effect is the game) for TAC are $1.99 each..

and the rules are free (and since I last played this I see they now include bombers, torpedo attacks etc...)

Worth trying even if you find its not what you want - I'm guessing that's probably the price of a Big Mac.

PS: I have no links to the company O:-)

I have quite a few air combat tabletop games. 

Got nothing against TAC, looks nice & streamlined.  Watched a video tutorial quite awhile back.  Didn't seem like there was much to it, so probably not my thing, or not very high on my list.
