Campaign start! Let's get to it.

 Introduction

Hey, for some time now, I've been thinking about playing a Blood Red Skies campaign based on the rules from the Wing Commander rulebook by Warlord Games.

Once I finally got my hands on the rulebook, I had to choose the right period and factions to play (and, of course, an opponent).

Since I'm personally very keen on the aircraft, I decided to take on the modeling side of things. Currently, we have 6 French MS.406 fighters and 6 German Bf 109 E-1s available, but there are already plans for more planes!

First, some information about the command element. According to the campaign rules in the rulebook, I've prepared a command card (for now, we only know about two random members of this element).

Here are the French:

 

And the Germans:

 

Since we have the command element, it's time to introduce the rest of the pilots. For the French, two of the elements are made up of Polish pilots.

So, France:

And Germany:

All that's left is to introduce the aircraft!

For the aircraft, most of the models aren't available yet, either due to the timeframe (e.g., the D.520) or because they haven't been painted yet (all the rest).

Traditionally, we'll start with France:

And then Germany:

Stay tuned for the next steps of the campaign!
