A challenging game for only eight cards and a four by four grid. My fist game was a total loss four squares in with more enemy forces than missles. Shot down over the target. Second game was a walk through the park. Entered one side of the board and exited the other side with no damage. The board arrangement is never the same due to the eight cards and the rotation of the card when designing the playing field. The rules are easy to understand, and you can be playing in minutes. I can see a co-operative game between two players attacking the target and then clearing the board. Pocket Apache has earned its spot on the desk as a go to game for a quit gaming fix.
