Well this came out of nowhere ...

It's an iOS port.
I'd love to see a good WWI game...but this one is kind of ho hum IMHO.
Yeah - had a quick look then refunded.
The actual minis game is great. This app doesn't look too good though.

Turn based air combat games on the PC are hit and miss...
The Lordz "Check your Six" was a disaster....
The old "Blue Max" game from the '90s (recently put back up on Steam and available) was tolerable...
Slitherine's Warhammer Flight Command is only mildly entertaining...
The only turn-based air combat games that I really liked were
"Sid Meier's Ace Patrol" and "Sid Meier's Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies". Both of these are a hoot but unfortunately don't run on my current rig...
Don't forget the Avalon Hill/Big Time Software titles from the 90's:
Achtung Spitfire, Flight commander 1&2, and Over the Reich.

Yes, I remember liking those. But really can't remember the gameplay well now.
Don't forget the new one in the works

The gameplay was great, and I really wish someone would remaster them, or at least have GoG get these working on modern systems.
It's too bad the Matrix version of Down In Flames crashed and burned due to its weird internet-dependent game engine.
I'm still waiting for the solitaire board game "Western Front Ace" by Compass Games / Greg Smith. Heard it's at the printer.
And flight commander 2. That was good. Still have the original product. Box paper manual fact sheet etc

Just curious if you have a link where it says at printer. Thought I read the other day it was still being worked on with no eta for printers or distribution. But maybe I missed it.

Pretty sure I saw that in a Boardgame Geek forum post (maybe by Gregory Smith).

Yeah, played an early version a very long time ago, I am sure Scramble will kick butt!

Good to hear - what I've seen looks good so far
