CHECK YOUR 6 - JET AGE

CHECK YOUR 6 - JET AGE
by Fisher, Scott

1-192560

CHECK YOUR 6! JET AGE was designed to closely reflect the details of jet age air combat while providing maximum playability. Building on the award-winning CHECK YOUR 6! (Classic WWII system), this game is the result of more than three years of research into air-to-air weapons, combat maneuvers, aircraft statistics, and the influence of pilot skill on combat. Combat is reflected in 3D and statistical analysis was extensively used in the design. Former and current US Air Force and US Marine Corps pilots were part of the design team from the start, greatly influencing the design and mechanics of the game rules.

SIMPLICITY: The key design goal for CY6-JA was to maximize pilot influence and historical accuracy while keeping the game relatively easy to play. All of the major game charts are on two sides of one 8-inch by 11-inch chart.

PILOT SKILL: Four pilot skills are represented: Green (+0), Skilled (+1), Veteran (+2) and Ace (+3). 'It is the man, not the machine.' -Chuck Yeager

SCALE: Any scale may be used. Playtested over three years with 1/600, 1/300, 1/200, 1/144, 1/100, and 1/72 scale aircraft.

WEAPONS: All modern weapons are included: Light and Heavy Machineguns, Low-Velocity Cannon, Modern Cannon, Heavy Cannon, Rotary Cannon, Infrared Missiles, Radar-guided Missiles, SAMs of all types, and Anti-aircraft Artillery.

AIRCRAFT: Statistics for more than 90 aircraft are included. Aircraft attributes include Maneuver, Speed, Agility, Climb/Dive rate, Acceleration, Robustness, Afterburners, Radar, Electronic Countermeasures, and Defensive Systems.

SCENARIOS: 23 scenarios from several eras plus 4 mini-campaigns from Vietnam, the Falklands, and Angola are included.

MOVEMENT: Movement is handled via hexes and maneuver charts illustrating possible maneuvers for each speed level.
