Night Witches

There was a night bomber regiment in World War II composed entirely of natural-born Soviet airwomen. These 200 women, flying outdated biplanes near the front lines, attacked German forces every night. When they ran out of bombs they dropped railroad ties.

To each other they were sisters. To the Red Army Air Force they were an infuriating sideshow. To the Germans they were Nachthexen - Night Witches. Can you do your duty and strike back against the Fascists? Can you overcome discrimination and outright sabotage and rise above your sexist comrades? Are there limits to patriotism or endurance?

Night Witches requires 3-5 players, who will take turns in the role of game master during the game. It can be played for a single two-hour session or expanded into a literal campaign following the Regiment across the entire Second World War. Either way, you’ll tell an epic tale of heroism and sacrifice that honors the women who did it for real.
