Product information "Thunderbolt-Apache Leader"
Thunderbolt-Apache Leader (TAL) puts you in the cockpits of the
world’s best Close Air Support aircraft. In TAL, you’ll zoom
through canyons hunting enemy tanks and troops while dodging
their AAA fire and SAMs.
TAL puts you down in the weeds in 8 campaigns spanning the
globe. The game system creates immense replayability by pairing
a Tactical Situation card with the Campaign card to create a
unique environment for the campaign. This means that your
campaign in North Korea might be part of a Holding Action, Show
of Force, Rapid Deployment, or General War.
The game places you in command of the pilots and aircraft of a
squadron of U.S. Close Air Support (CAS) aircraft in hostile
campaigns around the world. The aircraft and weapons available
for each campaign are historically accurate.
A major part of the game is mission planning. You decide how to
arm your aircraft and which pilots are best for the mission. Pilots
are rated for skill level. Deciding which pilots to fly each mission
is a major consideration. Your pilots will become fatigued with
every mission. If you fly a pilot too often, his skills will degrade.
Your pilots also gain experience with every mission flown. This
makes for some great decision-making. Should you keep flying
the top pilots and further fatigue them to get the job done, or fly
the new guys to prep them for the tough missions ahead?
Missions are quickly resolved using an area movement system to
display tactical combat over the target. Speed and realism take
top priority in this game. Terrain cards randomly generate each
battlefield. The cards include mountain ranges that block lines of
sight from both you and the enemy forces. If you plan it right, you
get to fly nap of the earth through the canyons and come
screaming over the ridgeline to rain fire down on the enemy
before they can react. Beware!
You get to resolve every missile launched at enemy bandits, and
every air to ground attack against the enemy targets. Each enemy
tank, S.P. Artillery, APC, Infantry, etc is represented by its own
counter on the battlefield. You also get to resolve the enemy SAM,
AAA, and Bandit attacks against your aircraft.
