Description:

IMPORTANT: Biplane Barmy has now been outdated by the second edition Biplane Barmy Refuelled, which you can find here. The old version has been left here for anyone who prefers the square map.

Now with New Demo Rules! Biplane Barmy is a game of World War I fighter combat. This is not a detailed simulation of aerial warfare between the allies and central forces; it is designed to be fast and playable. Players control one or more planes each and secretly choose maneuvers each turn, then move all planes simultaneously and resolve firing. The game is fast and furious, typically playable in around 15 minutes, and is intended for those days when you finish role-playing early and want a quick diversion.

  • 38 pages
  • Complete World War I Slang dictionary
  • 102 counters
  • Map grids
  • Maneuver charts

I feel Biplane Barmy is simple, elegant system and rule is on the whole clear. But there is some questions. 1)Alt +1 Maneuver at Altitude 6 Can the "Climb" or "Immelman" be selected at Altitude 6? 2)Infantry Rules I can't find Infantry Rule( at [...]

There are several really great comments from others about this game, so I'll be brief... This is a really great, simple game. Of particular interest to me was how quickly and easily my son learned the rules. He and I often play other games, but this on [...]

Bally good game really! A jolly time was had by all. That zoooooom, and then the whooosh, with a ratatatatata... quite thrilling!

These are a nice set of simple WW1 aerial combat rules and excellent value for money. They may be too simplistic for some people but with a little tweaking it can make the rules more interesting. For instance in our group the first hit on a manoeuvre i [...]

Take it seriously when they say this game is not meant as a mil-sim. It's just a quick little game for folks with a passing interest in flying biplanes. That said, and considering that's EXACTLY what they say it is, it's quite a good product. Certain rule [...]

Format
Original electronic
Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
