Description

Birds of Prey is the groundbreaking air combat game that combines fast, furious action with scientific rigor and tactical richness.

Birds of Prey offers you complete tactical control, placing you in command of a modern jet, from the Korean War to today. True three dimensional play is simply and elegantly achieved through a combination of stackable, tilting blocks and plane data cards. The physics is real, all the hard math is done and presented in easy to read table form.

The game offers 24 different aircraft to chose from. The game is visually appealing with 48 different block miniature aircraft and 24 tent missile counters. Altitude and tilt blocks instantly show the players the aircraft's current height and declination.

Players familiar with Attack Vector: Tactical and Saganami Island Tactical Simulator will feel at home with Birds of Prey. Players new to the system will find a richly illustrated tutorial booklet quick and easy to learn, and a concise rules reference booklet a convenient way to check details during play.
