Issue 15 covered the Origins AS tourney, and this issue was to have included my write up of the Air Strike tourney and also to have featured articles on the India-Pakistan wars and aircraft However, without a doubt, the latest developments concerning the AS game system as told in this issue's Current Events are quite intriguing and have had a significant impact on the newslette ras well. With Gunslingers being dropped by GDW, Tony and I decided to take advantage of all the material we've been holding back pending publication of that game. Therefore, in this issue we give you all twelve, count ' em twelve, pages of the key "former" 2nd edition play aids. With them, you should be able to begin playing the new system fairly easily. India-Pakistan and the other normal features will be slid back an issue or two. The play aides featured in issue 13 were playtest versions for Gunslingers. They are superseded by the new ones contained herein. A quick note! Several of you have received copies of what were called the AS master playtest rules. The slimmed down version of those master rules which were to have gone into Gunslingers as the real 2d edition rules for Air Superiority are now termed the Air Power rules. Some of the chrome included in the master rules has been trimmed out. Careful study of the enclosed play aides should make it apparent which rules bit the dust. Wen I'd better sign off to leave room Tony to say some things. P.S. among recent events to be discussed later; the ouster of President Gorbachev in the Soviet Union and the release of the film "Hot Shots".
