Sorry about that guys I have just figured out how to shrink it down took me alittle while, fixed. I love the 109
 
I had my tech guy load the pic for me, then I tested it with a test post, thast when I noticed hehehe it was HUGE, lol. I told him you dumb azz get that off there these guys will kick my azz for having such a HUGE pic lol. He laughed, then when we went back to fix it the bloody site where I have the pic posted was down for about 2 hours lol. So that HUGE pic was in my sign for about two hours lol. That was funny, for me anyways. (minimal sweating on my part only lol)

Damn I think thats a challange, which I rarely back from, lol. Stubborn Scottish Bastard I am. Now I have to figure it out, damn where is my computer guy when I need him.
 
Scottish? No, I think the word you're looking for might be Canadian. Unless you truely are Scottish and moved to Canada - in that case, good ...stay there.

Hello

I registered just so I could answer this thread That being said I too love War Bird games. The best aerial combat game that I have ever played was Ace of Aces. It originally came out only with WWI planes, but I believe they did try to expand into WWII

It's great - it's all about the combat. Graphics are not great, and it's really only two books, with every maneuver possible for your aircraft. You both choose your maneuver at the same time and see the results.

If you want to test your flying combat skills, ala making the right decisions, and sometimes the wrong ones - this is is

Ace of Aces by Nova Game Designs, Inc

Good Luck!

The best flying games are the computer combaat sims, but if you are like me, eye and hand co-ordination aint your forte, board games can still be fun.

Ive got a couple of of operational (ie section or squadron level games, Battle Of Britain, Midway and flattop as well as south west pacific that are pretty cool. The best computer sim at operational level is the carriers at war series by SSG. These very accurately depict carrier operations, my favourite scenario is to fight Phillipines sea with the Japanese having an extra 100 hours of flying experience.

Gary Grigsbys Pacific war and War in the South Pacific, is even more detailed, giving you the ability to retrain and requip your squadrons. Whilst air ops are the focus of the game, getting to understand how the other elements work....the land and sea combat and logistics systems, are all critical.

These are all good games, but not really tactical air combat games. Dauntless is probably the best boardgame Ive seen at this level, but i actually dont like it that much.

The best beer and pretzels game for air combat that can be played in about an hour, and require a great deal of skill to be good at, but are very easy to learn the basics for are the card game types, like Rise Of the Luftwaffe, The mighty eigth, Zero and Hellcats and Corsairs. They play similar to Yug I oh or Magic, with cards for various manouvres. There are scenarios to play, like escorting a b-17 in a raid over occupied europe.....great games, need skill to be good at, dont take up much space and can be played in an evening. Great to compete against your buddies as you watch the footy and drink beer.....
