Its a bad game and a waste of money.Too much input for a very unsatisfac ry game play. Its complicated to set up the missions. Action sequences very boring .
Check Your Six! was designed to closely reflect the realities of WWII air combat. The game recreates aerial battle on a digital tabletop and emphasizes pilot experiences/skills, weapons difference, and three-dimensional movement. Its all about "man not the machine." I'm actively encouraging you to give it a try and fight it out with other live players or AI of your choice. I am looking forward to a next expansion: Eastern Front.

This is a very good tactical air battle game that gives you the third dimension of altitude. Each scenario is well done and forces you to consider altitude and speed which every WW2 pilot wanted to have the advantage over his enemy. But in the end, after you play several scenarios you are left feeling empty and bored because their is no strategic level to the game that combines the battles to each other. You have no sense of "making a difference" and you aren't invested into the game. This could be an epic game if they added the strategic level which allowed you to pick your side, a historical base, choose your squadron, and play as the commander. Headquarters hands out the missions and you pick which pilots go on missions. Pilots have fatigue levels and wounds. You also pick green replacements as you will inevitably lose pilots. You get to hand out promotions and medals that up the skillset of a pilot. In this setup, your success or lack of it, affects what missions you get from headquarters. Your Ace pilot will mean more and you will end up trying to protect him with a wingman. Adding as much real history as possible to the bases, squadrons, and pilots will add a whole new level of gameplay. Hopefully a DLC like this could be added in the future. As the game is now I give it a 6 out of 10 rating.
If you get this game on sale, buy it. its fun and does what is not done enough, turned based WW2 and or WW1 fighter combat. That being said this game is lacking for what i could have been. Multiplayer skirmish no, dynamic campaign no, just set random senerioes. Dont be fooled about the planes you will find either, bare minimum early battle of Briton only. emile is the only German fighter and Spitfire 1 and Hurrican is it for the brits. Dont think their is more comming either, one month after the game droped they put out a patch and done, nothing follows. Im still gona give this game a good review though, becuse i paid what it was worth $8. The $30 they charged at release was a joke, those who bought it at that price were robbed, the adveirtisment was misleading and the depth of the game is just not what you would think to find from a major title. I have many slitherin games, probly more than i should have bought. They are good games for the most part, part of matrix a company that is one of two that i look to for most of the deep wargames that I like. But they do have a tendency to charge full price for games that are underdone and just thrown out garbage that should and could have been much better with little effort. this tittle much like March to Glory is fun for a quick play but past that it is not all their. Please Slitherin put a small bit more to fully tape the potential of your games, your consumers deserve it. Espesicaly if your going to charge them fully developed game prices out the gate.
Fun game and I like this style of game. As a wargamer there are two niches that are under represented, tactical air warfare and tactical naval warfare (I am talking true turn based PC war games here). Check your 6 has good bones and that is why I recomend it, the mechanics are basic but enjoyable and allow a decent range of tactical play Though I have not played Multiplayer yet I do not doubt it will be enjoyable. Graphics are adequate but I am surprised it is as resource intensive as it is, obviously it has not been optimized (I hope they will). It really, really needs a skirmish mode or even better an editor of some sort especially for multiplayer. Again, it sounds pretty negative but the game is fun! It just does not feel like it is completely fleshed out yet. Knowing Matrix it will be (and is another reason for the recommend) I just hope we do not have to pay for a editor or proper skirmish mode. I do not mind paying a little for DLC to add scenarios and new aircraft, but the basic game deserves a little more for the price at the time of the 1.0 release. Sorry, one other complaint...the documentation is awful, and really needs to be addressed as well.
To me, it is like the board/minature game. Nice to be able to see where your plot is going to take you. Hopefully there will be more content in the near future, I know there is for the game it is based on.
Данная игра заинтересует любителей воздушных схваток во вторую мировую. Благодаря походовому режиму тут можно скрупулезно подготовиться к удару по врагу или приготовиться к защите. Моделирование воздушного боя приближено к реальности с учетом конечно игровых допущений. В бою вы можете повредить различные элементы самолета, которые значительно повлияют на его бой. В игре опыт имеет первостепенное значение, значительно влияющий на бой. В общем советую всем любителям воздушного боя и пошаговых игр, игра вас затянет не на один вечер.
Been playing wargames and strategy games for a long time, but never really tried a turn based game focused on air combat. As it turns out, this game appeared on my six out of nowhere and suprised me. I am pleasantly suprised that this is based on a very fun set of rules. One can take on a scenario and enjoy a challenging battle that is simple to get into, yet complex enough to compare it to a chess match with random possibilities that ramp up the tension and fun factor. There is almost always something to add to a wishlist for any game, and for this game I would truly like to see a skirmish mode that you can play VS the AI (which is very fun to play against by the way), and also it would be great to see some difficulty settings or difficulty levels to choose from so that one can enjoy the game no matter what skill level or mood you might be at. This is great to see because we all need more games that show us new ideas that we can sink our valuable time and effort into. I am goin to recommend this game to strategy fans, especially those who appreciate turn based style games. Those who are not really into strategy gaming wont be converted by this game, but any real strategy heads, or history buffs who want to see how things might have been like will certainly find this title worth their time!
Ok, Picked this up on sale this week for 15.00 for that price I think it is well worth it. I have and have played the table top CY6 and this is a very good representation of it. It nice to be able to play without having to find someone else. that being said, yes it is a bit short with only the 14 missions 7 axis 7 allied but really that is not a big deal, the aircraft and victory conditions are the same but set up is random and really how many really different mission can you make up. I would love to see DLC come out with more aircraft and a mission editor. With that this game would be a bargain at full price. I have a few other games from Slitherine and they have updated and support all the other games I have. If you take this for what it is a table top game that you can play solo and/or MP I highly recommend.
