Description

e-Warbirds is a free play-by-email game based on air combat in World War II, which combines aspects of role-playing and tabletop war gaming to create a unique gaming experience. Players take on the role of a pilot and choose one of 46 different aircraft to fly.

Most of the action in e-Warbirds takes place in the Main Combat Arena. The Main Combat Arena is a continuous dogfight where players hone their skills and try out different aircraft. Getting shot down in the Main Combat Arena is no big deal: just grab a new plane and get back into the fray!

As an alternative to the ongoing dogfight in the Main Arena, e-Warbirds also has Scenario Games. In scenarios the competition heats up as two teams struggle to accomplish their mission. Success in a scenario requires teamwork and strategy.

e-Warbirds is entirely computer moderated. Players receive reports in text format via email, but can also check their positions online on the Web Map. e-Warbirds also has a graphical client called Aviator. Aviator includes handy features such as a command generator and a 3-D tactical map.
