Dockfighters: The Ale Wars

[Deleted User]

I just discovered this. Alternate history and very similar to Crimson Skies. Anyone else heard or played this?

[Mr. Average]

I was gifted with a prototype copy and am currently painting my miniatures! It looks to be a really fun game, and I mean anything that has zeppelins in it has me at “hello.”

[Mr. Average]

The game definitely wins for having so much cool stuff included!

Lucky you.
When you get around to plaing it can you post a review of how it plays? All I see on youtube are people pretty much reading through the rules but no actual play.
There’s a solo rules too?

Oooh airships are cool.

[Mr. Average]

Heh, comics finally paid off. A prospective comic I worked up a few years ago included airships that bore a passing resemblance to their “Saxon” airships, and they happened to come upon my work. They said they’d send me a few preview miniatures, but what arrived was a full prototype game!

The minis are waiting for a dry enough evening for a second coat of primer, then I’m painting them up.

Further down on the Kickstarter-Page, right after the stretch-goals there are plenty videos and some of them are actually Gameplay-Videos, flown missions and even the Solo-Mode against the bot “Konrad”. The videos are available in English, German and French.

Also there will be a Late-Pledge, when the Pledge-Manager opens (probably in July). So if the videos could convince you, you could get your hands on the game even if you missed the Kickstarter.

 

There is also a discord-server that you can join and also a module in development for the “Tabletop Simulator”, so you can check out the game even before the game is delivered.

 

I hope I was able to help you and maybe we will “see” us for a Online-Game of Dockfigthers in the near future.

Interesting.

This really does look cool, and I really like the flight stands.  I appears to be boardgamey and tabletop enough to bring in players of both types of games.  I hope it goes well!
