Richard Borg heads into space in this exciting new Commands & Colours board game – including two complete fleets of hard plastic starships! Red Alert: Space Fleet Warfare allows two to six players to duke it out in space. The play of command cards drives the action and creates a "fog of war", while battle dice resolve combat quickly and efficiently. Combat cards add an element of suspense and challenge players to maintain their star token reserves to power their Combat cards through the course of a battle. The action on a combat card may hinder the opposition forces, enhance a player’s units, or may instantly change the course of a battle. An assortment of task force cards allow players to quickly deploy a fleet of starships. In addition to these task force units, players can augment and customize their fleets with support vessels. —description from the publisher

Richard told me about this game at last "Fall In." His eyes sparkled exceptionally even for him. He's really excited about it. "LOTS of spaceships!" he said. Got me excited, too. KS, 6/6/18.

It’s C&C in space and it’s fun. Like most space battle games, it is really a naval battle game in 2D. The traditional three sector map makes a bit less sense than in terrestrial ancient battles, but nowadays the system has so many cards that are not sector-dependent that it hardly matters. The ship miniatures are very nice (some were bent, though). If the red and green bother you, it’s easy to spray paint them in metallic colors and feel good about the result.

Red Alert: Space Fleet Warfare card driven war game in space for 2 players with the Command & Colors system by Richard Borg (Battlelore, Memoir '44). [b]Pros:[/b] + Components (plenty of plastic minis that represent health and ships + cardboard token for unit statistics, huge map, table presence) + Hand management: command cards tell you what you can do in which of the 3 sectors. Combat cards may boost combat. + Modular map (asteroid and planet tiles) [b]Neutrals:[/b] # Star tokens add flexibility and are a multi-purpose currency # Dice have a Red Alert side that may force you to retreat units (playyer may spend star tokens to prevent it) # Huge game mat [b]Cons:[/b] - Missing flavor, generic - Lacks tactical depth - Big main box [b]See also comparison of Command & Colors games:[/b] * https://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/1238923/guide-cc-games-richard-borg/page/1
