Derived from Mustangs are Flying Circus (WW I), MiG Alley (Korea) and Phantoms (Vietnam-today). The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wfhgs.com\/downloads.html\">Wasatch Front Historical Gaming Society<\/a> has more stuff for Phantoms.<\/li>\n<li>Thunderbolt &amp; Lightning (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.raidenminiatures.co.uk\">Raiden Miniatures<\/a>). Free WW II rules for larger engagements.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sturmovik-commander.com\">Sturmovik Commander<\/a>, WW II. Free.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wingsofwar.it\">Wings of War<\/a>, WW I and WW II. Actually a boardgame, but I think it should be mentioned here. Great for smaller dogfights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The free rule sets are a good way of getting started. <em>Mustangs<\/em> deserves special mentioning, as it is not only free, but has spawned several derivatives that together cover all areas of air warfare. <em>Bag the Hun<\/em> uses a card-based activation system to add fog of war, but games can apparently be quite long. <em>Check your 6!<\/em> seems to be a good fast-play rules set.<\/p>\n<h3>Miniatures<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ghqmodels.com\/\">GHQ<\/a>.

GHQ has a reputation of outstanding quality, but also being expensive. Skytrex apparently has poor quality. Raiden Miniatures is quite new and are busily expanding their line. My personal choice would be 1\/285 scale as I would also use GHQ and CinC miniatures for ground warfare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a while I&#8217;ve been thinking about getting into air warfare\/dogfighting gaming with miniatures.
