Angels One Six: Battle of Britain is a tabletop miniatures game coming to Kickstarter in the middle of 2026. In it, you dogfight using high-quality pre-painted scale aircraft mounted on telescopic flight stands for a true 3D experience. Trade height for speed and speed for manoeuvres in a game where physics and aeronautics matter, all without any mathematics. The game is easy to learn and quick to play. You can lead a whole flight of four fighters against an opponent or join in a furball with a dozen players flying one plane each. With a whole flight under your command, you can try out historical tactics like the RAF’s vics and line astern against the Luftwaffe’s finger four formation. Would they have been better using Thach’s weave? Battle it out and see? With quick and deadly games, you can play a historical campaign in an afternoon. Will your pilots become skilled aces or will they be remembered among the fallen. About Savage Mouse Games Savage Mouse Games creates historically authentic tabletop miniatures games that are easy to learn, deep to master, and built to bring people together. We have been creating games with the soul of a story and the mathematics of a simulation since 2023. Savage Mouse Games creates games that anyone can sit down, pick up, and play, and then play again and again. We are a small group based in Auckland, New Zealand, relying on the miracle of the internet to bring our creative team together from across the world. Our first game is Angels One Six, the WW2 miniatures dogfighting game, with the first release being set in the Battle of Britain. Phil Yates Phil has spent over two decades designing some of the most successful tabletop wargames in the world. As the senior designer at Battlefront Miniatures, he helped shape Flames of War into one of the most played historical miniatures games on the market, and brought the same rigour to WWIII: Team Yankee. His reputation rests on a simple but demanding philosophy: every game must be genuinely fun to play, tell compelling stories, and be historically grounded and mathematically sound. That pursuit of depth without complexity led Phil to found Savage Mouse Games—a label for games he felt compelled to make, rather than games someone asked him to. The obsession that drives Savage Mouse Games is the same one that had a younger Phil creating bedroom-floor dogfights with his model aircraft: the belief that great games should put you in the moment, not just simulate it from a distance. Angels One Six is the fullest expression of that belief to date. Drawing on years of research into pilot accounts, aeronautics, and aerial tactics, Phil has built a game where real-life aircraft and tactics combine with the physics of flight to shape every decision. It's the game he's wanted to make since those carpet-tile dogfights, and it's finally ready to fly. P.S. Thank you Gimpy Gamer (Nate) and Moe (Maurice) for this opportunity!
