Game Length: 20 game turns Starting Force Values: RAAF (27VP) & IJAAF (23VP)
Special Rules:
1. If necessary, shift all aircraft equally to keep them in play on the game map.
2. Pilot Quality – The Buffalo pilots are Green. However, the pilot of Buffalo #1 can tail as a regular as he
has seen combat while the other Buffalo pilots have not. The pilot of Ki.43 #1 is a Veteran and those
of Ki.43 #2 and #3 are Regular.
3. Leads – Buffalo #1 is a Flight Lead. KI.43 #1 is a Flight Lead.
4. Formations – RAF uses normal flexible formations and the IJAAF uses Japanese Standard Formation
rules.
5. Japanese Gunnery Training – The early war Japanese pilots were extremely well trained and normally
had hundreds of hours of flying time before being declared ready for combat. Treat all IJAAF pilots as
Gunnery Experts. **
6. Ki.43-I Guns – The early production Ki.43-I’s had two Ho 103s but due to multiple issues with the gun
many had one of them replaced by the older Type 89. On a D10 of ≥ 4 both Guns are still Ho 103s
otherwise one of each.
7. On turn 1 the Ki.43-Is have just spotted the Buffalos and must move first.
7. Weather – There is a Cloud Layer from 3.4 to 3.9.
8. Victory – The side with the most points wins.
