In an all-action battle of strategy & skill, you will need to outwit and out-flick your opponents to achieve total aerial dominance! Develop the skills and learn all the tricks to handling your planes with the flare of a true wartime ace. Swoop in behind your enemies for massive firing bonuses, protect your six with cloud cover & tactial maneuvers. Slick, intuitive game play, multiple game modes & variants combined with components of the highest possible standard, make this the perfect action dog fighting game for both hardened wargamers & casual players alike. NOTE: When Air Flix went to retail, each of the 2 Kickstarter battle pack expansions (Dunkirk & El Alamein) was developed into a standalone game with 10 planes & the 3'x3' battle mat. There is also a "starter set" which is 3'x2' mat & 6 planes. The retail version of Air Flix: Battle Of Britain is a stand alone game and contains: 1 x Battle Of Britain 3’x3’ Neoprene Battle Mat 10 x Plane Minatures & Acrylic Discs (5 Axis & 5 Allies) 3 x Supermariine Spitfire 2 x Boulton Paul Defiant 3 x Messerschmitt BF109 2 x Heinkel HE111 10 x Pilot Cards (1 for each plane mini) 2 x Squadron Boards 1 x Battle Of Britain Bombing Map 15 x Bomb Tokens 2 x Ranging Sticks 5 x Combat Dice The Air Flix: Battle Of Britain Kickstarter base game contains: 1 x Battle Of Britain 3’x3’ Neoprene Battle Mat 23 x Plane Minatures & Acrylic Discs (12 Axis & 11 Allies) 5 x Supermariine Spitfire 3 x P-40 Warhawk 2 x Boulton Paul Defiant 1 x De Havilland DH98 Mosquito 5 x Messerschmitt BF109 2 x Heinkel HE111 2 x Focke-Wolf FW190 1 x Messerschmitt BF110 1 x Junkers JU88 1 x Dornier DO17 23 x Pilot Cards (1 for each plane mini) 2 x Cardboard Barrage Balloon Tokens 10 x Ace Pilot Cards (5 Axis & 5 Allies) Pat Pattle Josef Fantisek Johnnie Johnson Robert Stanford Tuck Pierre Michael Blaize Adolf Galland Gerhard Barkhorn Otto Kittel Gunther Rall Werner Molders 1 x Battle Of Britain Bombing Map 2 x Squadron Boards (1 Axis & 1 Allies) 2 x Cardboard Ranging Sticks 1 x Acryllic Ranging Sticks 1 x Cardboard Initiative Token 1 x Metal Initiative Token 15 x Cardboard Bomb Tokens 5 x Custom Combat Dice (3 white, 1 yellow & 1 red) 1 x Acrylic Cleaning Cloth 1 x Rule Book Scenario Rules For Blitz Mode, Barrage Mode, Supremacy Mode, Aces High Mode, Hunter Mode, Annihilation Mode, Evacuation Mode, Professional Mode, Training (Solo) Mode & Dogfighter Mode —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Air Flix supports 2–10 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Air Flix is 20–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Air Flix for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Air Flix belongs to these categories: Wargame, Action / Dexterity, and Miniatures. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Simultaneous Action Selection, and Simulation. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
