Red Alert: Space Fleet Warfare launches on Kickstarter
Red Alert: Space Fleet Warfare is a new Commands & Colors variant from Richard Borg. As the name suggests, this variant of the game takes place in deep space, and covers combat between fleets of space ships and fighters.
A kickstarter to fund this new game has just been launched by PSC Games.
The funding target is set at £42,000, with the project due to run until the 26th June 2018. The game pledge level will cost £90 (with an early bird of £85 for the first 500 backers). Delivery is due for March 2019. Retail cost of the product is said to be £99.95
We saw a preview copy of the game at the UK Games Expo last weekend:
As you can see, the game actually covers quite a large area, so is different from it’s predecessors in that it’s much more of a miniatures wargame rather than a boardgame – you might struggle to fit the play mat on the average kitchen table.
In common with several recent variants of the game, Red Alert will have two decks of cards from which to play during the game – examples of these are above.
A beta copy of the rules can be downloaded from the PSC Games website.
It took way to long for me to figure out that this wasn’t somehow a Command and Conquer game.
