Above the Clouds!: Missile Age

Missile Age is an expansion product for Above the Clouds! (which is required for use).

Missile Age takes air combat beyond the age of gunfighters which fought in the skies over Korea, incorporating early missile armed air combat.

In addition to expanding the rules to cover missile combat between aircraft (including RADAR, rudimentary ECM, etc.), Missile Age also adds ground-to-air combat including mass FlaK battery barrages, individual anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) sites, Surface to Air Missiles (SAMs), and Man-Portable Air Defense missiles (ManPADs).

While we were at it, we decided to incorporate some optional rules for Above the Clouds, some based upon suggestions from veteran players. These include an alternate maneuver order, limitations for tailing friendly aircraft, and non-simultaneous gun combat resolution.

Missile Age includes the first scenario package, Route Pack 6, which covers the air combat which occurred in South-East Asia from the mid 1960s and 1970s.

Route Pack 6 contains aircraft performance displays (APDs) for 28 aircraft, 4 models of Air-to-Air Missile (including 20 versions of those missiles), and one SAM system, the SA-2 (in 4 versions)
