There was anight bomber regimentin World War Two composed entirely of women.Natural-born Soviet airwomen.
These 200 women and girls, flyingoutdated biplanesfrom open fields near the front lines, attacked the invading German forces every night for 1,100 consecutive nights. When they ran out of bombs they dropped railroad ties.
To each other they were sisters, with bonds forged in blood and terror. To the Red Army Air Force they were an infuriating feminist sideshow. To the Germans they were simplyNachthexen—Night Witches.
Night Witches requires3-5 players, who will take turns in the role of game master during the game. It can be played for asingle two-hour sessionor expanded into aliteral campaignfollowing the Regiment across the entire Second World War. Either way, you’ll tell an epic tale ofheroism and sacrificethat honors the women who did it for real.
