I've thought about adding actual air combat but apart from throwing more dice, I'm not sure what it would add.Martin Rapierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788664847205341619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2410063836503200299.post-60501658721520900682021-03-29T23:49:57.436-07:002021-03-29T23:49:57.436-07:00Absolutely excellent game.

One slight surprise I've had over years is just how much use my 25pdrs and 105mm guns get. Well worth the money.

They wouldn't have been much use against tanks without AP ammo.... But yes, Rommel brought their use against tanks to wider attention.
