 MUSTANGS
The main Mustangs WWII rules are the rules from the original board game converted for miniatures. There are a couple of very minor changes from the original rules the exact details of which I no longer remember. 

To play the game, apart from the aircraft models, you will also need a cloth with large hexagons marked on it, aircraft stands and counters to mark the maneuvers your aircraft are performing. See links to the left.
 

David Schueler's rules expand on the basic game with some very innovative suggestions for expanding the Mustangs concept into different periods. Of particular note are the rules that allow for more and precise control of altitude changes without slowing game play or altering the flavor of the original games. For those gamers that prefer to stick with WWII battles, we recommend that you view MIG Alley Ace and consider converting their altitude mechanics back into the original rules.
