Blood Red Skies is a tabletop miniatures game where you command formations of fighter aircraft in battle.
ABOUT THE GAME
Scramble! Take command of a force of iconic aircraft in this fast-paced dogfighting game. Collect, build and paint a plethora of iconic aircraft from World War Two and beyond. Designed by renowned game designer Andy Chambers, the game is lightning-fast with players vying for superior positioning with the dynamic ‘Advantage’ system at its core. Whilst games of Blood Red Skies can be as simple as matched dogfights, the strength of the game is in the variety of scenarios available. Each player often has asymmetric objectives as attacker or defender in missions such as ground attack/defence, bomber or transport escorts or even simple daring reconnaissance flights over hostile territory.

GETTING STARTED
COLLECT
Aircraft are available for many of the belligerent air forces of World War Two, and the range is ever- expanding. Iconic aircraft from the Battle of Britain, the skirmishes of the Mediterranean, the Ostfront and the carrier battles of the Pacific are available, and more! Prop-engined fighters, dive- bombers, torpedo-bombers, transports and multi-engined bombers are all at your disposal, as well as the jet fighters of the Korean War. You can also recruit ace pilots, masters of the sky, who’ll have a tremendous impact on the tabletop.
PAINT
Truly make your miniatures your own by painting them! All Blood Red Skies aircraft are very easy to assemble (most are single-piece) and come unpainted and so you can tailor your collection to represent a particular squadron or paint scheme. A range of waterslide decal sheets are also available that will make sure your aircraft have the correct markings. Any gamer will tell you that a painted model always performs better on the tabletop!
PLAY
Engage in thrilling fast-paced dogfights where the key is in outmaneuvering your opponent. Using the dynamic ‘Advantage’ system, your aircraft will jostle for position, waiting for that key moment to unleash a deadly burst of gunfire. Swift and ofttimes brutal, games are easy to set up and quick to set up, so you can get multiple dogfights, bomber escort missions, ground-attack scenarios or a wealth of other options played during a session.
