• Watching 12 O’clock High everyday gets me wondering if a complete game just using air units and flak units could be created to simulate the air war over Germany.

    I have been thinking about this idea for months.  I was wondering how by using the OOB pieces as well as planes from HBG could be used to form this new game.  The map would have targets with printed value to bomb and this would be a hex map.

    The actual combat would be transferred to a blow up map to allow tactical movement of planes …and really a separate fun game to resolve this combat.

    The old Avalon Hill game Luftwaffe could be used to format the OOB for plane arrivals each turn. Additional plane types could be obtained by buying them from 1/700 scale Skytrex

    How would you envision such a game? How would it work?


  • Could start a bit earlier, say 1940 or 1941 and include southern England.  After 1942 the allies’ has air supremacy for the most part.

    Also tech… have jet fighters, anti-air missiles, pressurized bomber cockpits, long range fighters, etc…
