Above the Clouds!: Resolution 181

Resolution 181 is an expansion for the Above the Clouds! air-combat miniature wargame rules.

It covers the Arab-Israeli conflict from 1948-1983.

Resolution 181 is intended to provide enough background information for Above the Clouds! aficionados to generate interesting missions set in the various clashes of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

This conflict has varied over time including all-out warfare involving the very survival of the Israeli state, lower-level conflicts involving mere one-off raids, and even sustained air combat attrition campaigns.

The early conflicts (the 1948 and 1956 wars) can be played using Above the Clouds! alone, but the remaining conflicts represented in Resolution 181 will require players to have the Missile Age expansion.

Resolution 181 consists of three major parts, a timeline to familiarize gamers with the background of the conflict, a section breaking down the major conflicts and the forces which were available to the participants, and the game components required for using your miniatures to fight in these conflicts.

Game components include 53 APDs (12 of which were previously published in other expansions) and 26 APD variants, some of which are:

F-84F Thunderstreak (“Super Hog”)

F-15 Eagle

F-16 Falcon
