Salute 2018 was a massive hit for us at Warlord again! We featured all of our games and so many of you came and visited us! People enjoyed the variety of games we had to offer, including our brand new Blood Red Skies. Here’s the quick rundown of what happened during the event!
Blood Red Skies Takes off!
Our brand new game, Blood Red Skies, zoomed into Salute, bringing a new level of combat to the scene.
Andy Chambers, the writer of the game, was on hand with the Warlord team to demo the game to many aviation enthusiasts!
We also featured an 8×6 Ocean battlefield which hosted a 5ft 4″ battleship, CV-8 USS The Hornet! It was under attack by the Japanese, they released 18 zeros and 12 B5N-Kate to assault the Hornet! The Allies launched 12 F4F-4 Wildcats which was led by the Ace, Joe Foss!
