What is Foxbat & Phantom: Komet Und Meteor

Note regarding capitalization in title: Although the word "und" in Komet Und Meteor is technically not supposed to be capitalized, that is how the word was used by the publisher.

This game imagines a catastrophe of sufficient scale (say, the failure of the Normandy Landings) to cause a massive shift of Ground and Naval Forces to the more successful Pacific theater. The Air Forces, finally granted independence from the US Army, carry the burden alone in Europe. The more familiar aircraft of 1943 are gone. Only the experimental Mustang and Spitfire fighters and the bombers are left. In the place of the P47s and Bf109s, Europe is criss-crossed by High-Altitude BV-155 and Jet powered F80's.

Komet Und Meteor is a variant to a favorite game of ours, Foxbat and Phantom. We recommend the use of a Spitfire [SPI] Counter set for the piston engine aircraft. K&M grew from the experimental Me262 Flight Chart given in JP#3. This chart can be, of course, used in this game.
