Holy hell @madman1960 , that game sounds a lot more detailed than anything AirWar C21 tries to do. I think AirWar C21 goes for breadth – fast play, quick access, and once you get the Data Annex, you can do any air-to-air engagement since Korea, nay nation, etc. I’ve also seen (but I do not have) expansions for 1918, etc.

The one thing I have noticed missing is any kind of data / stats for sea-based weapons systems. The included systems like the Sea Cat, Sea Dart, and Sea Wolf in their Falklands Operation Corporate supplement, but these were in 1st Edition which wasn’t real compatible with 2nd Edition. So I had to find the closest analogs I could and sort of shoot from the hip in some of our Falklands games.

But it all worked out in the end!
