About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone! Ready to amp up your Quartermaster General experience? Air Marshal is here to turn up the heat, introducing two fresh mechanics that will make the game even more intense and strategic. First off, we've got 'Bolster Cards,' those surprise cards you play directly from your hand at the perfect moment, catching everyone off guard and adding an extra layer of challenge. Just imagine your opponent's face when you turn the tide with a move like that!
And to top it all off, Air Forces take to the skies! With them, you can deploy your aircraft onto the board, using them to provide powerful support to your ground or naval units in the same space. But that's not all: they also put significant pressure on adjacent enemy troops. It's warfare gaining a new aerial dimension, where controlling the skies can be the key to victory.
This expansion is for those who already enjoy the base game and crave more complexity and tactical options. If you're into wargames with a touch of hand management and area control, and you don't shy away from a good strategic challenge, Air Marshal is for you. Get ready to plan every move and feel the adrenaline of commanding the skies in World War II. It's a feast for strategy lovers who aren't afraid of a denser game.
