WWI air combat

Death Spiral

Take command of a pilot and aircraft in fast, dangerous dogfights where position, nerve, aircraft handling, and pilot skill matter more than dense simulation.

Its aircraft, stands, battlefield, cards, and mission tools are being developed as one connected tabletop system.

Printable systems

Four systems. One tabletop.

Every component has one job. Together they create a complete tabletop air combat system.

Built in the workshop
