Ace of Aces: Handy Rotary Deluxe Edition

A revision of the original Handy Rotary series that simulates World War I aerial combat through paired flip-book views of opposing cockpits. Photographs of period aircraft provide the visual perspective, while separate rulebook organizes Introductory, Standard and Advanced play levels and optional campaign rules. Players consult game books to resolve maneuvers and combat, use cardstock aircraft and ace cards showing silhouettes and performance traits as play aids, and track position and damage through the book-system mechanics. The Deluxe package uses a bookcase-style box and separates rules from the scenario books for clearer play.
