Blood Red Skies is the new World War II mass air combat game from Warlord Games, written by renowned game developer Andy Chambers.
Packed with everything you need to play this fast-paced air combat game, the Blood Red Skies starter set does what it says on the tin. Plus once started you’ll have the extra rules to introduce the play cards that really bring your fighter aircraft to life, allowing you to fly them just as they would have been by the Ace’s of WW2!
Fw 190 squadron: $32.00
The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Würger, also abbreviated as Fw 190, is a single-seat, single-engine fighter used by the German forces after 1941. Alongside its counterpart, Messerschmitt Bf 109, it became the backbone for the Luftwaffe’s Jagdwaffe.
On its debut combat, the Focke-Wulf was superior to the Spitfire V, which happened to be the Allies main plane at the time, in almost every way. Mostly suited for low-medium altitude fights, the Focke-Wulf proved to be the superior plane until the Allies introduced the Spitfire XI.
Fw 190 Ace: ‘Pips’ Priller: $20.00
Josef ‘Pips’ Priller fought in France and the Battle of Britain before being transferred into Adolf Galland’s wing, JG 26. A year later Priller took command of the wing and fought skilfully against worsening odds over NW Europe. Priller claimed 101 victories in 307 combat sorties and gained notoriety as one of the few Luftwaffe pilots to attack the Allied beachheads on D-Day. He survived the war and returned to his family brewing business in Bavaria.
Fw 190 Ace: Otto Kittel: $20.00
Otto Kittel flew first in Yugoslavia and then on the Eastern Front from June 1941 at the very outset of Operation Barbarossa. He claimed his 100th aerial victory in September of 1943, his 150th in April of 1944 and his 200th in August the same year. He was shot down and killed in action in February 1945 over the Courland Pocket, his final tally 267 victories over 583 combat missions.
These new releases will help your German forces overtake the waker forces over the eastern and western fronts. Make sure you visit Warlord Games to find out more about this exciting new game!
