Strategic Air Command
Based on the aircraft available to the US and USSR during the Cuban Missile Crisis, fight for the skies over the arctic and defend your hemisphere against an all-out air assault!
Use spy planes to seek out incoming bombers and enemy airbases. Then deploy your fighters to intercept them and escort your own bombers deep into enemy territory.
Instructions:
- Left click and drag to select airbases
- Use the picker in the top left to select which plane type to deploy (or use number keys 1 - 4)
- Right-click to launch planes from selected airbase
- Left click and drag to select planes in flight, and right click to redirect them.
I'm also working on a multiplayer version of this game and there are several directions I'm thinking about taking it: unlock experimental planes like SR-71 or XB-70 as you go? More sophisticated dogfighting mechanics? Allow designing your own planes? Add cities, factories, etc.? Speed it up to emphasize action? Slow it down to emphasize strategy?
Let me know what you think!

underrated game
Thank you!
Great game its fun to play but i have a suggestion can you add points like if you manage to destroy some aircraft it gives you points, fighters give lower points but bombers gives the highest and you can use those points to buy more aircraft for you to use or unlock some more advance aircraft also you can use the points to buy SAM sites to protect your air base.
Thanks for this feedback! Basing currency on kills is a smart, simple way to add money.
And yeah without the ability to get more planes it's definitely possible to stalemate by accidentally losing all your bombers
thanks for replying and yeah i actually have a hard time destroying the enemy because of their numbers being limitless and you can only counter their numbers by using strategies that makes this game challenging and fun to play by the way keep up the good work bro i love this game.
