From the publisher:
Birds of Prey is the next generation of air combat boardgame. In the tradition of The Speed of Heat, Air Superiority, and Air War, this is the game for historical gamers who want to move beyond World War II and pull some serious Gs.
“I had thought that accurately modeling Air Combat Maneuvering in a boardgame was impossible. I’m glad to be proven wrong!”
— Robert L. Shaw, Top Gun graduate, and author of the textbook used for air combat, Fighter Combat: Tactics and Maneuvering
“The next generation of air combat games! I learned more about air combat from Birds of Prey than I have from flight simulators.”
— David Isby, designer of SPI’s Air War, and CNN analyst.
Birds of Prey makes the impossible (true modeling of aerodynamics)fun to play. The game’s aircraft data cards use performance data pulled directly from the best available unclassified sources, icluding manuals issued to pilots.
