6 Computer assistant for Flight Leader
Computer assistant to handle all of the book keeping in Avalon Hill's Flight Leader board game. *To use, unzip all files into a single folder. Double click on the "flight leader" application file. *The 1985 hypothetical USSR vs USA scenario is pre-loaded. *To change scenarios, copy all the files from one of the subfolders into the main folder. Double click on the "flight leader" application file. When asked if you wish to continue a previous game, hit the 'n' key. *For PBEM, both the fl_log.dat and fl_sit.dat files should be emailed to your opponent. *See the included electronic User Manual and original Flight Leader rules for additional information. I started coding this back in 1994(!) as a rainy day & cold weather hobby. I originally intended to code only the search rules...

2 Sample PBEM Board Output
Turn 3, Scenario 24.1 First Jet-to-Jet Air Combat. North Korean player is rushing the Alpha flight at the USAF F-80's. While Blue attempts to use the sun for a contact advantage. NK Bravo flight is scheduled to enter the map on Turn 4. Looking to umpire (with 2+ players) or play in a PBEM. I build my maps in the Open Source: Open Office software, so you can receive the map as a pdf like this or in the native Open Office format.

3 Flight Leader expanded logsheet
Expanded logsheet for use with the impulse move variant from the General vol 26 #3 (Full Throttle by George Scheets). Can be used with the normal impulse rules as well
2008-05-21
3 Impulse slide
A seperate version of the impulse movement table from the back of the rules. Includes a slide, that can be cut out, and slid over the table, giving a clearer view of who moves in the current impulse, and what impulse you have gotten to. Can be laminated to good effect.
