Hello everyone! We have this project on Kickstarter and we need the help of all of you to make it a reality.

It is called Dark Skies and is an aircombat wargame in a “what-if” fantastic setting. Please take a look!

The game mechanics allows players to enjoy a 3D gameplay, the stands can go up and down to represent the different altitude levels and the manoeuvres and aerial techniques create an engaging system of air clashes.

Andy Chambers (extensive works on Warhammer 40.000, Starship Troopers, Dust Tactics, Necromunda, etc.) will do a final Edit on the rules to guarantee balanced and refined rules and Dylan Owen (Proof-read 42 titles for the Black Library) will proof-read the final version of the rulebook.

There are right now 5 factions, but more will be revealed in future! Check them out:

The Kingdom of England:
In the game board, the Kingdom of England has the most agile fighters in the Dark Skies: the Warfly, light armoured but high defence skills. The medium and heavy aircraft of the Kindom of England have one of the highest fire rate making dozens of gunfire bursts. More tactical players that what to make agile movements while heavier aircrafts give support fire, will enjoy playing with the Kindom of England Army.

Image

The Germanic Empire:
In the game board, the Germanic possesses the superior fire power in the middle-heavy aircrafts. The lighter fighters like the Foker D1 are reliable and highly manoeuvrable allow the players to take advantageous positions. Offensive and daring players will be right at home with the Germanic army!

Image

The Russian Empire:
The gameplay of the Russian army is based on the high number of its ranks to overwhelm and crush the enemy. The MS3 and the MS7 cover most of the needs any player would demand on any army, and you can flood the game board with them. The Black October is a hard hitter that provides heavy fire power to your vanguard. If you like big armies with lots of resources to overcome your enemies, the Russian Empire, is the perfect army for you.

Image

The Cthulhu Creatures:
The Cthulhu are few in the game board but quite powerful and their unique rules and nature make the creatures an interesting army to play. Combining the resources and abilities of the different creatures can cause serious mayhem in the enemy lines but if the creatures are isolated and surrounded can be suppressed. Skilled players that know how to combine resources and love super-elite armies with few but impressive miniatures will find the in Cthulhu faction a source of unlimited fun.

Image

The Foreign Legion (Mercenaries):

Players can fully customize their Foreign Legion army choosing aircrafts from any other faction and adding unique rules and aces to make their own individual armies. With just a few but very powerful miniatures the Foreign Legion is a great choice of an army for those players who like maximize their resources and use many powerful aces at the same time.
Lothar von Stauffemberg, Mike Yegar and Auryl the Winged are some examples of the Aces from the foreign Legion.
