INTRODUCTORY GAME RULES

CANVAS FALCONS is the first module in the WARBIRDS: The History of Air Combat series of games covering air combat from 1914 to the present day. CANVAS FALCONS uses an accurate three-dimensional flight model that allows players to recreate air combat engagements using a two-dimensional game map and counters.

The rules, chart and tables included in this pack are intended to give you a taste of what the system is capable of providing, not all rules are presented here.

In the WarBirds system, a different game scale is used for each era, allowing the same movement and combat rules to be used. Each era will have a section in the rules binder to allow fast reference. This means you can play one engagement in 1916, jump to 1940, The Battle for France, then 1952 Korea over MiG Alley, and go “Down Town” in 1964 using the same basic flight rules and APCs that use the same layout. The bottom line is one set of rules, anything that flies.
