"Check Your 6! report and review" Topic

Hi all! I've attempted a review of Check Your 6! on my blog. It's my first go at a review and I tried to be balanced, but I'll be honest…there's not much I don't like about CY6! :) Feel free to take a look and I hope it's of some use to anyone out there thinking about picking the rules up.

Hi Goodwood;
Nice battle rep. and I agree with your review of CY6.
The paint jobs on your aircraft looks great.

When we first played the game a year or two ago, it seemed almost impossible to shoot down or even hit another plane and I was a bit down on the rules.
But playing and learning the game really has changed my thinking about it and now, planes are going down in flames regularly.
I think the rules are simple enough to learn quickly but give you a good feel for the period.
The one thing we tend to forget during the heat of combat is "Pilot Reaction".
I have tried to have a plan of attack, but it fades away as my pilots get into the swirling meelee.
Have fun with it.

I totally agree! All too often I, and others, forget that you can shift your turn code, which is daft because it's such a cool mechanism!

And thanks for the comments, Joep! :)

Great report and review! Looks like it was a fun time for all.

Hi all! I've just updated my blog with another CY6 and Nuts! battle report…we had a busy night! Hope you all enjoy it as they were really fun games.

Great AARs from two of my favourite rulesets. Your CY6 battle especially hit home. God, I love a hurricane and seeing it best the -109 like that just makes me smile.
