Blood Red Skies

Last Christmas I was lucky enough to receive Blood Red Skies Battle of Britain starter set. I was able to set it up and play it straight out of the box which is a bonus in the winter when spray priming models is out of the question. I had some grand games with it and sent for some decals with a view to painting the little planes.

Well, I got them painted a few weeks ago when the weather warmed up and I got them into action today.

I have long been interested in the Battle of Britain and have re-read Len Deightons book for some background.

Here are my Spitfires.

And the Messerschmitts. When we were kids running around with our toy guns and tin helmets someone would yell "Messerschmitt!" and we'd all dive for cover. Happy days!.

A Spit gets a shot in.

Now the boot is on the other foot!.

A bit of a furball.

But it soon opened up.

Blood Red Skies is a superb game and I reckon it is Andy Chambers' best work.

Stay safe!, now I'm off to shoot some bombers down.
