Flat Tops in a Bathtub
Flat Tops in a Bathtub is a simple mini-campaign designed to allow two players to fight through a series of games in a single evening or a couple of sessions. The system is loosely based around the carrier battles of 1942, mainly the Coral Sea, but with elements of Midway thrown in.
Each player will need a copy of the Operations Board, Search Map and Flight Deck boards, which you can download below.
Air Medals & Iron Crosses
The Air Medals & Iron Crosses campaign is designed to be a structured system for adding tons of narrative and depth to multiple, linked games of Blood Red Skies. In this campaign, you will create a roster of pilots and lists of aircraft for a fighter and attack squadron. Below you can download the campaign’s personnel and duty rosters, maintenance logs and squadron command records to print and fill in at your leisure.
