The Rules
The rules for Warbirds are relatively simple. There is a general sacrifice of "simulation" qualities in favour of speed of play. Characters and their Planes are not buried under a mountain of stats and numbers. Instead, the game makes general assumptions about a character's abilities and leaves the details to the players' imaginations. The rules focus on what characters do and the results of those actions, and ignore the exact nature of how such things are done (though describing the how can get you a bonus, see Style.) The rules are laid out in the order that they are best understood:
- Rapidfire Rules - This is the general rules-set for the game.
- Character Creation - Build your character.
- Plane Creation - Equip your character with a deadly fighter aircraft
- Rules of the Sky - How to strafe and dogfight with your plane.
- Character Advancement - Rules for improving skills and stats.
