Table Air Combat: Me-163 Komet
Table Air Combat is a fast, simple air combat game that can be played on any flat surface. All you need are some six-sided dice and some coins to provide weight for the aircraft counters. Everything else can be printed from this ruleset.
Each player has a flight of four fighters, represented by two counters. Aircraft counters move by means of curved “performance rulers” that represent the aircraft’s historical cornering ability and maximum speed.
Each performance ruler is unique to each aircraft, and contains all the speed, cornering, and weapon information needed.
TAC is designed for portability; The entire game can fit in a plastic bag. Even the largest battles can take place on a fast-food restaurant table.
This set contains the Me-163, the only rocket-powered aircraft to see combat. Scenarios include:
Bat Out Of Hell: Komets bounce a flight of P-38 Lightnings
Point Defense: Me-163 Komets assisted Fw-190D fighters attacking a formation of B-17G bombers and their P-51D escorts.
Red Komet: Returning from a mission with no fuel, a lone Me-163 has to glide past marauding P-51D fighters to return to base.
