Firebirds: Gunship is a tactical-level, narrative-style solitaire/2-player co-op wargame using a tables-based game engine.

* The following dice are required to play: One D20, one D6, and two D10s.

* A medium size table is recommended for game setup.

* 5 minute game setup and breakdown times.

* Total play time to complete a full 1-year tour of duty takes approximately 3-10 hours (depending on game length chosen).

* Adjustable starting difficulty based on player's skill level.

* While originally designed as solitaire, the game can easily be played as 2-player co-op, with player 1 flying helo 1, and player 2 flying helo 2.

With most of the rules integrated into the tables, there is practically no learning curve or rules memorization. And with 2 flyable helicopter types, numerous crewmen skills, mission types, detailed damage modeling, weather effects, terrain types, random events, and a multitude of table modifiers, Firebirds: Gunship offers high replay value. Are you up to the challenge of suriving a 1-year tour of duty in Vietnam?
