Firebirds: FAC 2023

Firebirds: FAC is a tactical-level, narrative-style solitaire wargame using a tables-based game engine.

As the pilot of a US Army L-19 Bird Dog Forward Air Control (FAC) plane, your ultimate goal is to survive a 1-year Vietnam tour of duty during the year 1968, while at the same time trying spot and mark hidden enemy Viet Cong units in FAC zones, then later calling in air strikes to take them out.

The following dice are required to play: One D20, one D6, and two D10s. 5 minute game setup and breakdown times. A medium size table is recommended for game setup. Total play time to complete a full 1-year tour of duty takes approximately 3-10 hours (depending on game length chosen). Adjustable starting difficulty based on player's skill level.

With most of the rules integrated into the tables, there is practically no learning curve or rules memorization. And with numerous crewmen skills, detailed damage modeling, weather effects, terrain types, random events, and a multitude of table modifiers, Firebirds: FAC offers high replay value.

Are you up to the challenge of surviving a 1-year tour of duty in Vietnam?
