By the same company that released the Combat Mission series.

Down In Flames


"DiF is a game that has the feel and flavor of dogfighting in a simple to learn but hard to master card game format."

I saw the announcement over at Battlefront, I was hoping it to look a little bit better than that, But I'm sure its in very early stages of development.

I'll download the demo when it comes out.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

It's based on an old board game, well several old board games. Where players used cards and it was turned based. Because before computers could bring us Ah2 or IL2, even air warrior, Air combat was done on a table top.

Look at Combat Mission, based on an old Board game and look at it now. Its the best Turn based war strategy there is.
