Haven’t heard of blood red skies before, but I’ve generally enjoyed dog fighting games. Guess this means I have some research to do.
Never tried this style of game. But I must say they look good and it doesn’t look that difficult to get into!
Blood Red Skies is a great prize!! 🙂
I did like that cliffs of dover table. Lloyds foam scenery would be a great way to replicate it.
Yes, Lloyds foam would make for some huge cliffs.
Really been loving Warlord Games lately!
Reach for the sky, then upgrade and pick up some soviets
very interested in this game. loving the gameplay. just maybe get some nice mini’s in
I never played this type of game before – and my uncle was flying a Spitfire in 302nd RAF (Polish one).
VOOOOOOooooom would love to play this
Gotta love a Spitfire!!
Looking forwards to seeing what they do with dual engine fighters and bombers.
Blood red skies seems cool. I’ve looked at various aerial combat game in the past but never played. This one might change that.
Blood Red Skies speaks to me, I want to run some Yaks on those tables
Really like the look of blood red skies, I’m just waiting for them to bring out the bombers already.
Ive been watching all your coverage of blood red skies recently. Ive loved seeing the mechanics with how you can swing round onto someones rear after blating off a few rounds head to hea. It looks like such a great game
Looks really interesting
Lucky enough to have a demo today at Expo, was good fun and the gameplay seemed to capture the action well.
Looks fun. But nobody interested in it it in my local club.
Blood Red Skies looks better and better every time I see it. And that cloudy board would be great to play on, not to mention a certain WWI aerial game as well. But first, I’m going to have to try Bolt Action on my wife’s lazy Susan.
A new game would be a great housewarming present for the new games room
I am increasing interested in this game, and really curious what planes they are going to add to the range
Loved watching the let’s play videos for this and was great to finally play it at Salute. Very fun game
I really love me a dogfighting computer game. I only imagine that a tabletop game would be just as awesome.
This looks really great! I haven’t played anything like this before, but need to give it a try!
How does it compare to Wings of War?
It is different. With WoW the mechanic it the maneuvering. Because of this the WWI version of WoW is better for dog fights. The WWII edition the speeds are fast and so the dog fights are more difficult. The key mechanic for this game is that advantage, neutral and disadvantage mechanic for shooting versus simply the firing arc. WoW has options for limited fuel and limited ammo. WoW has a lot more miniatures. This game is more concentrated on squadron level combat vs individual fights.
Thanks. I liked WoW but it lacks depth, I might give this a try 🙂
