• Designer Klaus Teuber will "launch a series of articles with insights and background story from an upcoming 4th quarter product", according to U.S. publisher Mayfair Games.

Crosshairs is a combinatorial game with a strong WW1 aerial combat theme. Players each have a squadron of planes and move all of their planes each turn. Movement consists of either a climb (increasing the height of the piece) or a dive (losing height to make a sequence of moves). Pieces are captured when they are in the line of fire of two or more enemy planes. Clouds block line of fire and provide strategic cover during play.
If a player is reduced to having only one game, he's shot from the sky (i.e., is eliminated from the game). A player wins when he reduces the only remaining opponent to only one plane. Games are brutal, fast, and fun.
