The air war over the Pacific, therefore, provides a fascinating focus for the tabletop gamer, and there was no battle more crucial than Midway, on which our brand-new Blood Red Skies Starter Set centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlood 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA force is comprised of iconic World War 2 fighter aircraft using the dynamic ‘Advantage’ system. Opposing pilots can also use card-based aircraft traits, doctrines, Ace skills and theatre rules to make the most of their planes and fighting environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Battle of Midway starter set contains everything you need to get playing, including rules, tokens, dice, game cards, and crucially 12 highly detailed Warlord Resin aircraft with which to battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Grumman F4F Wildcat When the US Navy and Marine Corps entered the Second World War, they had only one effective fighter aircraft available to them: the F4F Wildcat. Fortunately, the Wildcat proved more than equal to the task of holding the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Mitsubishi A6M2 ‘Zero’ The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was a fast, modern fighter, but had no armour for the pilot. When the Zero (derived from the Japanese name Reisen - meaning Zero Fighter) was in the hands of aggressive and well-trained pilots this weakness was rarely apparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFull Contents:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e12 x Warlord Resin aircraft (6 x Mitsubishi A6-M2 Zero \u0026amp; 6 x Grumman F4F Wildcat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e12 x BRS Advantage Flying Bases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 x BRS Midway punchboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 x BRS Plastic Token Sprue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 x BRS Battle of Midway Rules Booklet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 x BRS Quick Reference Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 x Aircraft Cards (Douglas Dauntless, Douglas Devastator, A6-M2 Zero, Aichi D3A 'Val', Nakajima B5N Kate \u0026amp; F4F Wildcat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 x Aircraft Trait Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e17 x Doctrine Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e18 x Theatre Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e12 x BRS Combat Dice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 x USN\/IJN Self-adhesive sticker sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 x USN\/IJN waterslide decal sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43785037840535,"sku":"","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0460\/6541\/8391\/files\/771510003_BBRSBattleofMidwaystarterset05.webp?v=1710461617","url":"https:\/\/deep-dive-games.myshopify.com\/products\/blood-red-skies-the-battle-of-midway-starter-set","provider":"Deep Dive Games St. Marys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
