“Anyone who has to fight, even with the most modern weapons, against an enemy in complete control of the air, fights like a savage against modern European troops, under the same handicaps and with the same chances of success.”
Field Marshall Erwin Rommel, Papers, 1953
World War Two saw extensive use of air power with planes attacking enemy forces in conjunction with ground forces. Air power is not essential – you can easily ignore it. Maybe bad weather prevents attacks onto the battlefield, or air superiority is so contested that no planes ever make it past the enemy fighter screens.
Aircraft Models
One aircraft model represents a flight of fighter-bombers or fighter aircraft. Models can be the same scale as your infantry and tanks or smaller-scale models can be used.
You can also use your air power dice to represent aircraft. This is particularly useful if you haven’t got round to painting your models.
