## Description
Prepare for epic aerial combat in the world of Mice and Mystics with Tail Feathers! In this miniature skirmish game, you'll command the bravery of the Downwood Militia mice, mounted on starlings and blue jays, to defend their colonies against the villainous alliance of rats and predatory birds. It's a battle for aerial supremacy that shaped the destiny of Meanderfield!

Tail Feathers is a standalone game, but it connects with fans of Mice and Mystics. If you already own miniatures from Mice and Mystics: Sorrow and Remembrance, you can use them as ground troops here, giving an extra boost to your battles. The game shines with a unique and challenging flight system, where bird miniatures tilt to indicate flight direction, demanding skill and strategy to maneuver your squadrons.

Featuring a scenario book that offers both standalone experiences and an engaging campaign, you can dive into unique battles or follow the development of your units across multiple missions. The game comes complete, with everything two players need to wage cinematic aerial battles. Balance the use of flying and ground units, plan your actions in an action queue, and roll the dice to see who emerges victorious. Tail Feathers promises fun and excitement for those who enjoy miniatures, fantasy, and a good tactical conflict.
