That's my fave-rave air combat game of all time.  So much early Cold War shit in there.  Voodoos, baby. Voodoos.

I thought I had Whistling Death also. But it seems to have vanished.

New arrival:

The Speed of Heat. F-86's? Neato.

GDW's AS system was the best one out there IMO. Does Speed have any scenarios covering the F-102 in nam?

An ungodly ugly aircraft.

the A-5 being the prettiest from that time period.

TSOH is actually a continuation/refinement of the GDW AS system, so it's completely compatible with Air Superiority and Air Strike.  The only one from the set I don't have is Desert Strike.  :(

And there aren't any Vietnam-specific scenarios for the Delta Dagger--even though there's a shitload of 'Nam scenarios--but they're in some hypothetical Cold War scenarios, and you can always rip and replace scenarios.

I love TSOH because it's got so much stuff that never saw real combat in the early jet age, like the Cutlass.

I found my Whistling Death. Mint in shrink.

Interesting find of the day:  data sheets for COA's Speed of Heat, starring famous Sci-Fi fighters, courtesy of some Japanese website.

Ed Anger

I was thinking more like Colonial Vipers against a shitload of MiG-19s in Thud Ridge.

BOOMER VERSUS COL TOOMB

Ed Anger

He flew mig-21's. :nerd:

And wiki sez mig-17's also.
