Before Claymore, we typically play quick games, since we often get interrupted by people asking questions related to the show. Blood Red Skies is ideal for this, as interruptions make it easy to pick up the game again. This time, we had just three players and played two quick games.
UMPIRING: Tim Chant
1. Forces.
1. Game One.
In the first game, we had two squadrons of two aircraft. Tim played as the Luftwaffe, flying the Me-109F, while Alasdair piloted the Me-110C. I led both RAF squadrons: the Polish Hurricanes and the British Spitfires.
The Spitfires engaged the 109s while the Hurricanes attacked the Me-110s. Alasdair deployed his twin-engine fighters against my Hurricanes, while Tim divided his forces, sending one fighter to engage the Hurricanes and two others to target my Spitfires. A quick battle followed, during which the Spitfires outmanoeuvred the 109s, shot one down, and forced the remaining planes to retreat. Although the Hurricanes faced attacks from the 109s and Alasdair's fighters, they scattered but managed to regroup. With the Spitfires joining the fray, they successfully chased off Alasdair's 110s. The first encounter concluded with an RAF victory.
2. Game Two.
After completing the first game, we realised we still had time for a second brief match. This time, each side had only one squadron. Alasdair and Tim commanded the RAF forces with their Spitfires, while I led the Germans with my Me-109s.
The game was incredibly fast-paced and intense. Both teams fired at each other and quickly started collecting Boom Tokens, with each side reaching a total of three. The tension mounted as it became a race to see who would shoot first. The Spitfires took the initiative, securing another victory for the RAF. In the second game, not a single plane was shot down.
