Castles in the Sky- Resources

[Eric Farrington]

Greetings,

I have a blog post to start the year with some images of Castles in the Sky in action, and some resources that may be of use.

Resources include:
- Quick Reference Sheet
- Tokens
- Record Sheets
- Ship Templates

bloodandspectacles.blogspot.com/2023/01/castles-in-sky-random-photo-dump-and.html

I hope you find these helpful. The tokens, templates, and record sheets were made a few years ago by Robert Kurcina. He helped play-test and develop the game on the Delta Vector message board. Thanks man!

As many of you know, when I was writing Castles in the Sky there was a strict word count for the book. However, I wrote so much content that I had to go back and remove some of it from the book. Even with my edits, the final book is still larger than any of the other Osprey Wargaming Series books! Instead of the normal 64 pages, it is 80 pages of content!

To make the rules fit to the new expanded size, I still had to cut out some rules and other details that I wanted to keep in. The biggest space eater, was the ship templates. Therefore, I had to remove a lot of ships. Therefore, each fleet was left with only 1 Battleship, a cruiser of two, and 1 or two escorts. All nationalities lost at least a single ship to make space. I want to make these ships available to the community here on the blog!

Over the next few weeks the blog will have new and expanded content for Castles in the Sky. You can see the first entry with some new ships for the British, French, and Germans. In addition, there are rules for the Regional Powers that never made the book. You can find this new content here:

I will have a PDF version with the addendum data on Wargame Vault on the Blood and Spectacles page in a few weeks. Until then the blog should get you through. Enjoy!

As promised, I put all the blog content of new ships, expanded rules, the QRS, and a few other tidbits into a PDF and put it up on the Wargame Vault.
