Read the full game description
Zero! is the third volume in GMT’s Down in Flames card-game series and shifts its tactical air combat to the opening six months of the Pacific War. Aircraft cards establish speed, performance, firepower, and damage, while maneuver and attack cards let pilots climb, turn, line up shots, and break away. Dogfights can be played on their own or connected through six campaigns covering Pearl Harbor, Malaya, the Philippines, Burma, the Coral Sea, and Midway. Campaign resources, targets, bombers, flak, and pilot experience broaden the decisions beyond a single duel, including a solitaire Pearl Harbor campaign.
