Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
Tail Feathers
From skimming through the rules I think it looks charming and tactically rich. However, my only experience with this type of game is with Silent Death (I'm assuming that Star Fleet Battles and Ace of Aces don't exactly count) so I have no idea how it compares with the Star Wars and Star Trek games that are out there already.
What do you guys think? Can this one succeed without a big licensed IP to get and keep people's interest? It does have cute mice riding on songbirds of prey.

Seems like it's got a sort of Armada movement mechanic where which way you're tilting controls your actions for the next turn, but I'm not 100% on it. Just read some stuff and kind of got a basic premise. It's not Silent Death, not remotely. This is MUCH simpler.

Yeah, the actual attack/defend/scamper mechanics seem like they're just like in Mice and Mystics--definitely simple. Is it about the same weight as X-Wing Miniatures, or perhaps more of a gateway game?
I really like the image of commando mice riding fluttering leaves from a tree to a ground mission while bird-mounted riders swoop and joust around them. Or the Death Spiral that occurs when one bird attacks another one in flight. It's not dodging a bounty hunter in an asteroid field, but that kind of action gets the imagination cranking.

I'm not sold on the mechanic that the person holding the First Player Token can force someone to tilt their mount. This is probably due to too many years of playing Blue Max and Richtofen's War. I suppose I should look at this aerial skirmish like the Dragonlance dragon battles.
