Night Witches - Manuale Base (GDR)

Night Witches During World War II, a regiment of night bombers composed exclusively of women fought. Soviet aviators born. These 200 women and girls, flying outdated biplanes, took off from airfields near the front lines and attacked the invading German forces every night for 1,100 consecutive nights. When they had no bombs available, they dropped railway ties on the enemy. They considered themselves sisters and developed bonds forged in blood and terror. But for the Red Army, they were just an inconvenient display of feminism. And for the Germans, they were just Nachthexen: Night Witches, or, for the Americans, Night Witches. Night Witches is a tabletop role-playing game that tells the story of women at war. As members of the 588th Bomber Regiment, you will answer the call of the Motherland in its darkest hour. Will you fulfill your duty and strike blow after blow against the Nazis? Will you overcome discrimination and declared acts of sabotage to prove yourselves better than your sexist comrades? Is there a limit to patriotism... and endurance? Play Night Witches and find out! Night Witches requires 3-5 players, who will take turns acting as Game Master throughout the game. It is possible to play standalone sessions of two hours or expand the story into a full campaign that follows the Regiment through all phases of World War II. In any case, you will narrate an epic story of heroism and sacrifice, honoring the women who lived that story in the real world. Uses the Apocalypse World system.
