Dark Skies 1942 Arriving On Kickstarter From Resin Horse Games
October 9, 2015 by stvitusdancern
A new company called Resin Horse Games has taken to Kickstarter to get help funding a new 15mm aerial combat game called, Dark Skies 1942.
In this game you command one of the six factions, Germany, US, Britain, Soviets, Imperial Japan, and Mercenaries to fight against a race of evil creatures to save humanity. The game is what they are calling dieselpunk set in the WWII universe.
All the "ships" are now flying and the rules allow for you to fight in "3D" on the tabletop. The flight stands of the fighters are adjustable at four different flight levels to simulate dog fighting. Some of the ships are quite large, take for an example the US Enterprise Light (?) carrier: it is over a 12 inches long! It is indefinably a different twist on WWII alternate universe.
There is not much on game play at this moment, other than it will use 10 sided die, and the base shape and angles indicate line of sight. It will be interesting to see how the project does, as I will be watching the development of the game.
They have also announced that they have reached an agreement with Plast Craft Games to create some terrain for the game. On a side note, they might want to rethink the name of the US Light Destroyer named Arizona.
Does alternate universe WWII aerial game interest you?

Those look really promising and premise alone is something for one to sink they teeth into.
This kinda adds nothing that Dystopian doesnt already offer, aside from tentacles of course.
Bigger models and totally different gameplay.
Kickstarter continues to drive a glut of half arse ranges, games, etc. for the consumer it isn’t terrible … you get an ok deal here and there and some alt figs/models for use with existing games/systems. That said it seems like the marketplace glut doesn’t make for cohesive/supported product ranges as well. Mixed bag I guess and early days yet. On this product specifically … I wish they’d have gone more crimson skies rather than yet another *yawn* Weird War II/Dystopian Wars/ish … thing … there is quite a bit of Weird War II out there now … No ill… Read more »
I quite like the models as this is not my sort of thing generally. I will say that they seem to be missing a trick with their kickstarter in not having an option for one full faction + full range of aliens. Its something I could possibly see myself getting and playing but not something I would ever be interested in expanding upon
very sky captainy like the models
