About the game
From the makers of Ace of Aces, the WWI dogfighting game, comes Jet Eagles, the Modern Air Combat Game. Gameplay is very similar to Ace of Aces (two books each depicting the view from your fighter jet) with rules for advanced weapons such as missiles. Players each choose their maneuvers, and then using a formula, turn to a new page in their book to see the outcome.
