Blood Red Skies: Battle of Midway Starter Set
Blood Red Skies: Battle of Midway Starter Set contains everything you need to get playing, including rules, tokens, dice, game cards, and 12 highly detailed Warlord Resin aircraft.
Blood Red Skies is a tabletop miniatures game in which you take command of a force of fighter aircraft in battle. The emphasis in Blood Red Skies is on controlling a large number of planes at once. Action in the game is fast-paced, with no pre-plotting or book-keeping required. A smallish game of Blood Red Skies, with six planes per side, can be fought in forty-five minutes or less.
unique to Blood Red Skies is the dynamic ‘Advantage’ system. Opposing pilots can use card-based aircraft traits, doctrines, Ace skills, and theater rules to make the most of their planes and fighting environment.
During WWII, the evolving nature of naval warfare gave more and more prominence to the carrier, and the control of island airfields were of paramount concern to the greater strategic concerns of the Pacific theatre. The air war over the Pacific, therefore, provides a fascinating focus for the tabletop gamer, and there was no battle more crucial than Midway!
