Overview

What ABG knows about this game

This is the newest entry in DVG's Air Leader series. Like the other games in this series, IAF Leader is a solitaire game of air-to-air and air-to-ground combat. Each mission takes roughly 30 minutes to set-up, plan, and resolve. Players select a squadron of pilots before each campaign. Each of your pilots has their own skills. Selecting the right pilots and weapons for a mission is vital to its success. As you fly missions, your pilots will gain experience and fatigue. With experience, their skills improve, but as their fatigue increases, their skills decrease and they might not be able to fly for several missions. This installment covers all the historical and some hypothetical wars involving Israel from 1948 through to year 2020. The game features historically accurate aircraft and weapons for each war.
