Air Scarmush – Strategy Game Review
Air Scarmush is a Strategy/Education/Board game from Christophe Roth, first launched in 14th February 2022.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 1+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Air Scarmush Stand Out
AirScarmush is a hybrid board/app tactical air combat game for two players that runs on a 'simultaneous turn by turn' basis over a board of hexagons (board and pawns to print and assemble yourself).
Step into the seat of an eager pilot participating in the Air Scarmush grand tactical flight contest. Experiment with the machines and develop the skills that'll help you take control of the skies.
Confront your friends in thrilling air to air combats and air to ground raids to finally prove who's the greatest pilot of all time.
Air Scarmush offers a unique setup to help you easily learn the choices in terms of air combat maneuvers and tactics that will surely lead a pilot to victory.
Strong points of the game:
- A semi-realistic flight model based on fundamental dynamics rules (energy management, evolving turn rates and turn radiuses based on aircraft type and speed)
- A system for resolving offensive actions that takes into account the position/attitude of the aircraft and evasive maneuvers in determining success.
- An intuitive user interface that lets you easily program your next move and present it to your opponent.
- A simultaneous turn-based game system that leaves no downtime
- 30 minutes to play a game
- A Hot Seat mode which allows multiplayer game with a single smartphone
- 21 scenarios with increasing difficulty
- 10 types of missions
- 5 aircraft types
- 11 weapon/action types
- A budget board and pawns system to print and assemble yourself

Recent Updates & Development
Latest Update: 1st May 2025
Recent improvements include:
- Added a preview of scenario maps to the selection list.
- Modification of turn performance diagrams to make them more efficient and easier to read.
- Modification of an F-16 aircraft movement option (at speed 1, it is no longer possible to turn while gaining speed), as this behaviour was not fair in relation to the turn performance diagram.
- Modification of the layout rule for the “Weapon/Action types” section (the text description now follows the target acquisition graph), to provide direct access to critical information during gameplay.
- A new scenario called “Fingers-Crossed” has been added, in which fighter aircraft confront each other to achieve air superiority. Mirage 2000 type aircraft incorporate infra-red guided missiles for the first time.
