By playing cards, you gain advantageous positions on your targets, fire your guns, and send them down in flames! \r\n\r\nThe game is based on a unique action-reaction card mechanic. Each card can be countered by specific other cards. At the bottom of every card is the list of cards it is allowed to cancel. This makes for exciting card play back and forth between players! \r\n\r\nPlayer #1: \"I Play an In My Sights for 3 Hits. If you don't stop it, you're going down.\" Player #2: \"I counter with a Barrel Roll.\" Player #1: \"I react with a Yo-Yo.\" Player #2: \"You got me.\" \r\n\r\nEach aircraft is accurately simulated with a several ratings including: Performance (the maximum cards you can hold), Horsepower (the maximum cards you can draw each turn), Bursts (how many times you can fire), Damage (how much damage your attacks inflict), and Airframe (how much damage your aircraft can sustain). \r\n\r\nThe air combat is simulated using a Positioning system that allows aircraft to be Advantaged, Tailing, Disadvantaged, or Tailed in relation to other aircraft. An aircraft's position determine if it can aircraft, and how many bonus Bursts it receives if it is Advantaged or Tailing. \r\n\r\nThe game uses a simple Altitude system to add this vital aspect of air combat. Aircraft get to draw cards when diving, and must discard cards when climbing. \r\n\r\nThe game also includes Light, Medium, and Heavy Bombers that are used in the historical campaign games. \r\n\r\nDown In Flames has won several awards through the years and continues to be a favorite for both serious and casual gamers. \r\n\r\nComponents\r\n110 Full color Action Cards\r\n110 Full Color Aircraft Cards\r\nFull Color 24 Page Rulebook\r\nFull Color Counter Sheet (176 - 5\/8\" counters)\r\n6 Full Color Campaigns\r\nFull Color Player Log Sheet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScheduled Campaigns\r\nInvasion of Poland\r\n\r\nBattle of Britain\r\n\r\nDaylight 1944 Bombing\r\n\r\nGuadalcanal\r\n\r\nEast Front\r\n\r\nBattle of Midway\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BGExtras","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60019257311566,"sku":null,"price":37.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0414\/7022\/files\/down-in-flames-aces-high_T_2_D_21471_I_3273_G_0_V_2.jpg?v=1783611072","url":"https:\/\/www.bgextras.co.uk\/products\/down-in-flames-aces-high","provider":"BGExtras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
