As of this writing date, progress on the former Gunslingers game is good. The 48-page scenario booklet has been typeset and except for the artwork, is ready to go. The rules booklet is typeset, and the good news is that because of the superior formatting capabilities of the Mac computer, I have been able to reinstate many of the rules that were culled out for GDW and yet keep the current draft to 72 pages. That means you will be getting almost every Air Sup. rule created to date in a single package. My intent is not to have to publish any form of supplemental rules other than miscellaneous stuff in the newsletter for you to have the complete 2d edition Air Sup. rules. The 48 data cards are also done. Some of them have already appeared here in the newsletter. Phil Boinske, the Clash Of Arms representative for this project, is predicting a June '92 release date for the game. We're hoping it will be a knock-out and sell well. It should, since it covers the Korean War, the Cold War, and all of Vietnam and includes 51 separate scenarios; not to mention some really neat aircraft.
