	Crimson Skies is a tabletop and video game franchise set in an alternate version of the late 1930s. The (Dis)United States has Balkanized into dozen or so countries; instead of railways and cars, you have giant zeppelins and planes. Which is [[awesome]]. Along with them come Air Pirates, Air Vigilantes/Militia, and many other Air-related things. Combine this with rapidly advancing plane, zeppelin, and weapon technology, and you have a pretty bitching background on your hands, including Nazis wielding Tesla Guns and Zeppelins which can hold an airfield's-worth of planes.

	Chances are, however, you've heard about the [[/v/\|vidja]] versions rather than original tabletop. That only makes sense, since the wargame has been out of print since 2001. Saddening in a sense, but Crimson Skies was created with the vidja game base in mind (Microsoft actually owns most of the game's rights). It does mean that much as the [[BattleTech]] 'verse is best-known from the Mechwarrior games, mentioning tabletop Crimson Skies will probably get you strange looks.

	Crimson Skies was developed in a partnership between [[FASA]] and FASA Interactive (~~two different companies~~) as a mixed tabletop and video game property, along the lines of the BattleTech/Mechwarrior franchise~~. It was first printed as a boxed set with punched-card counters (again contemporary with, and very similar to, the BattleTech 4th Edition boxes)~~. Following FASA's typical model, the initial release had significant fluff and rules gaps that they planned to patch ~~subsequently~~ with novels and ~~expansion books~~. The timeline was set to begin in late !1936-1937, with all text written in-universe where possible, and advance throughout the sourcebooks.		Crimson Skies was developed in a partnership between [[FASA]] and FASA Interactive (the latter company being owned by a mix of Microsoft and senior FASA employees). It started as a mixed tabletop and video game property, along the lines of the BattleTech/Mechwarrior franchise. Following FASA's typical model, the initial release had significant fluff and rules gaps that they planned to patch with subsequent novels and game sourcebooks. The timeline was set to begin in late !1936 and early 1937 (with all text written in-universe where possible), and advance throughout the sourcebooks. The game was first printed as a boxed set with punched-card counters. This release was contemporary with, and very similar to, the BattleTech 4th Edition boxes. The PC tie-in game was developed closely with the tabletop game's Line Developer and creative team, while FASA benefitted from Microsoft's graphics and model designing expertise.

	The game has been dogged throughout its existence by poor marketing, and not at all helped by repeated buyouts killing releases mid-stride. FASA closed its doors long before the first edition was even ''mostly'' complete, selling the IP to WizKids; Microsoft acquired FASA Interactive and ~~has~~ sat on the rights for years. The Clix reboot was felled in its initial release waves as Topps acquired all the WizKids properties - and promptly killed almost all of them for a baseball CMG (yes, really).
