Israeli Air Force Leader

About this board game

Israeli Air Force Leader is a solitaire air-combat game for one player, with missions taking roughly 30 minutes to set up, plan, and resolve. It covers air-to-air and air-to-ground combat across Israel’s historical and hypothetical wars.

Before each campaign, select a squadron of pilots, each with their own skills. Choosing the right pilots and weapons for every mission is vital to success, making preparation an important part of the game.

As your pilots fly missions, they develop through experience while also accumulating fatigue. Experience improves their skills, but increasing fatigue reduces those skills and may leave pilots unable to fly for several missions.

• Solo air-to-air and air-to-ground combat
• Pilot selection and weapon choices before each campaign
• Experience and fatigue that affect pilot performance
• Historically accurate aircraft and weapons for each war

The game spans the history of Israeli military aviation from 1948 through 2020, including both historical conflicts and hypothetical wars involving Israel. Its aircraft and weapons are represented accurately for each period covered.

Released in 2017, Israeli Air Force Leader offers a focused solo experience built around mission planning and squadron management. Every sortie contributes to the changing condition of your pilots, creating an ongoing balance between selecting capable personnel, assigning suitable weapons, and managing fatigue across the campaign.
