	Description Edit \| History

The Powerhouse Series book set pits the Fokker DVII of Georg von Hantlemann against the SPAD XIII of Eddie Rickenbacker. The game provides statistics for several other WWI fighter planes that may be played using this set.

The Powerhouse books include a different variety of maneuvers than was used in the Handy Rotary books making for interesting match-ups between the two sets.

Die_Roll_Substitution

I never carried around a die for the advanced rules to this game. I used a table like the one attached. The German and Allied players write/call-out a number 1-6 at the same time, and cross reference it on the table to get a 1d6 roll. This rock-paper-scissors approach fits inside the box with the rules.
