25:03 A look at Avalon Hill’s Flight Leader
FLight Leader is such a well-designed game, and a good comprimise between realism and simplicity. Each plane has an aircraft status sheet – a stylized cockpit where you make your decisions. A sizable assortment of modern aircraft is included. I only wish new units were developed and new rules to cover their abilities/ Who wouldn’t want to get behind a B2 Bomber? Scenarios cover the Korean War and virtually the whole Cold War era. Still enjoyable after all these years!
