Flying machines of increasing complexity took to the skies, first to observe the enemy and track his movements, then to attack him in the skies and on the ground. By the end of the First World War in 1918, all the precepts of air warfare were already well established. During the 1920s and ‘30s, aircraft design advanced rapidly. Sober predictions were made that unstoppable fleets of fast, multi-engine bombers would devastate cities within hours of any new war being declared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, when the Second World War erupted it was the single seat, single engine fighter plane that proved to be decisive in battles. Fighters could successfully intercept contemporary bomber aircraft inflicting great damage on any unescorted daylight raids. Now, for the bombers to get through, they needed the protection of their own escort fighters. The size of engagements grew, and grew, and grew again until hundreds of combat aircraft might be involved. Wherever the ground war was fought, gaining air dominance was found to be vital to success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 1940 until the invasion of occupied France on D-Day four years later, the war effort in Western Europe was primarily conducted in the air. At sea, carrier-based planes mastered the battleship and changed the face of naval warfare forever. Tens of thousands fought and died in the skies, flying ever faster and deadlier aircraft born of the bleeding edge of what engineering and desperation could achieve. Within six years, airpower was recognised as a practical tool of victory; with the course of its progress marked by wrecked planes and dead heroes. For the many courageous pilots - including Churchill’s precious Battle of Britain ‘Few’ – who fought on high, it took skill, cunning, and luck to survive and thrive in those blood red skies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.’\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinston S.

Des engins à la complexité croissante prirent leur envol, tout d’abord pour observer l’ennemi et pister ses mouvements, puis pour l’attaquer dans les cieux et au sol. À la fin de la Première Guerre Mondiale en 1918, tous les préceptes de la guerre aérienne étaient déjà bien établis. Durant les années 20 et 30, la conception des aéroplanes fit rapidement un bon en avant. Il fut alors sobrement prédit que d’irrésistibles flottes de véloces bombardiers multimoteurs dévasteraient des villes entières dans les heures qui suivraient la déclaration d’un nouveau conflit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCependant, lorsque la Seconde Guerre Mondiale éclata, ce fut l’avion de chasse monoplace et monomoteur qui se révéla comme un élément décisif au cours des batailles. Les chasseurs pouvaient intercepter avec succès les bombardiers contemporains, infligeant d’importants dégâts sur tous les raids aériens effectués sans escorte en plein jour. Désormais, pour que les bombardiers puissent passer, il leur fallait la protection de leurs propres chasseurs d’escorte. L’ampleur des engagements aériens grandit, et grandit, et grandit encore jusqu’à ce que des centaines d’avions de combat puissent être impliqués. Où que la guerre terrestre soit menée, acquérir la suprématie aérienne s’avéra essentiel pour triompher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eÀ partir de 1940 et jusqu’au début de la libération de la France occupée lors du Jour-J quatre ans plus tard, l’effort de guerre en Europe occidentale fut principalement mené dans les airs. Sur les mers, les escadrilles des porte-avions maîtrisèrent le cuirassé et modifièrent ainsi pour toujours la conduite de la guerre navale. Des dizaines de milliers d’hommes combattirent et moururent dans les cieux, en volant à bord d’avions toujours plus rapides et meurtriers nés des innovations les plus poussées que pouvaient réaliser l’ingénierie et l’énergie du désespoir. En l’espace de six ans, la puissance aérienne fut reconnue comme un instrument concret pour obtenir la victoire, dont le parcours de développement fut jonché d’épaves d’avions et de héros morts. Pour les nombreux pilotes courageux qui luttèrent là-haut, y compris l’illustre « peu » si cher à Churchill lors de la Bataille d’Angleterre, il fallait du talent, de la ruse et de la chance pour survivre et vaincre dans ces cieux rouge sang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e« Jamais dans l'histoire des conflits tant de gens n'ont dû autant à si peu » Winston S.

Jahrhundert schuf die Menschheit eine völlig neue Form der Kriegsführung - den Luftkrieg. Fliegende Maschinen von zunehmender Komplexität stiegen in den Himmel, zuerst um den Feind zu beobachten und seine Bewegungen zu verfolgen, dann um ihn am Himmel und am Boden anzugreifen. Am Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges 1918 waren die Regeln des Luftkrieges bereits etabliert. In den 20er und 30er Jahren entwickelte sich das Flugzeugdesign rasant. Nüchterne Vorhersagen wurden getroffen, dass unaufhaltsame Flotten der schnellen, mehrmotorigen Bomber Städte innerhalb weniger Stunden nach jeder neuen Kriegserklärung zerstören würden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAls der Zweite Weltkrieg ausbrach, war es der einsitzige, einmotorige Flieger, der sich im Kampf als entscheidend erwies. Jäger konnten Bomber, die bei Angriffen am Tage verheerenden Schaden anrichteten, erfolgreich abfangen. Damit die Bomber unbeschadet durchkommen konnten, brauchten sie den Schutz ihrer eigenen Eskorte – also eigene Jagdmaschinen. Der Umfang der Einsätze wuchs und wuchs, bis Hunderte von Kampfflugzeugen beteiligt waren. Überall dort, wo der Bodenkrieg geführt wurde, erwies sich die Luftherrschaft als entscheidend für den Erfolg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVon 1940 bis zur Invasion des besetzten Frankreichs am D-Day vier Jahre später wurde der Krieg in Westeuropa hauptsächlich in der Luft geführt. Auf See beendeten Trägerflugzeuge mit Torpedos die Herrschaft der Schlachtschiffe und veränderten das Gesicht der Seekriegsführung für immer. Zehntausende kämpften und starben am Himmel, in immer schnelleren und tödlicheren Flugzeugen, die aus der blutigen Partnerschaft dessen geboren wurden, was Technik und Verzweiflung erreichen konnten. Innerhalb von sechs Jahren wurde die Luftwaffe als praktisches Werkzeug des Sieges anerkannt, wobei der Verlauf ihres Fortschritts von zerstörten Flugzeugen und toten Helden geprägt war. Für die vielen mutigen Piloten - darunter Churchills so hoch geschätzten „Wenigen“ in der Luftschlacht um England -, hoch am Himmel kämpften, waren Geschick, List und Glück nötig, um in diesem blutroten Himmel zu überleben.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e„Niemals in der Geschichte der menschlichen Konflikte haben so Viele so Wenigen so viel zu verdanken gehabt.“\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWinston S.

England's saviour marched out the rolling hills and misty marshlands of the South West, smashing the Great Heathen Army and unifying the squabbling kingdoms under one banner. While he is most known for his legal and social reforms, the evidence suggests that Alfred was also an exceptional field commander.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Contest of Champions, Alfred is a Command Rating 8 General, armed with a sword, heavy armour and a large shield.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAriovistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Caesar was busy subduing the Gauls, on the other side of the Rhine, Ariovistus was busy building his own empire. In the early part of the first century, this king of the Germans fought against both Gauls and Romans in a bid to spread his sphere of influence westward. This expansion would bring him into conflict with another of our picked generals - Gaius Julius Caesar! On one of his forays across the Rhine, Ariovistus' army was badly mauled by Caesar's expeditionary force, preventing the Germans from mounting any further offensives into Gallic territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClearly, Ariovistus was able to go toe to toe with Caesar and the might of the Roman republic.

One theory holds that he was in fact, a Roman centurion called Lucius Artorius Castus, who fought against the native Britons and invading Saxons with a band of Sarmatian auxiliary cavalry, sowing the seeds for the knights of the round table. In his mythic cycle, Arthur fights many battles against both human and supernatural foes. His skill with Excaliber is undisputed, making him a shoo-in for this clash of champions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Contest of Champions, Arthur is a Command Rating 8 General, armed with a sword, small shield and heavy armour.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJulius Caesar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn to a patrician family in the eternal city of Rome, Gaius Julius Caesar had an unfortunate start in life. Stripped of his birthright by factional infighting and forced into hiding, he joined the legions as an escape from the political machinations of ancient Rome. After revenging himself on a band of Aegean pirates who had enslaved him, Caesar began a military campaign that would spread Roman rule across Gaul, before successfully fighting a civil war against his erstwhile companion, Pompey, before assuming total control of the Roman republic. His successes against both barbarian and Roman enemies showcased his complete mastery of the battlefield!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Contest of Champions, Julius Caesar is a Command Rating 10 General, armed with a sword, heavy armour, and a horse.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeonidas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pass at Thermopylae was held by a few thousand Greeks against a gargantuan army of Persians.

By the age of 38, William had survived numerous assassination attempts during the anarchy following the death of his father, unified his squabbling vassals and crossed the channel to claim his title as King of England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilliam was a survivor - renowned for his fearsome temper and peerless strength.

Such was the case for Vercingetorix the Gaul, who was imprisoned for six years before being strangled after being paraded before the Roman mob. This was a chieftain who united the squabbling Gallic tribes and faced down a future Emperor. His revolt set Gaul ablaze, pioneering scorched earth tactics to deprive the Romans of food. Unfortunately, he found himself bottled up inside Alesia - one of his toughest strongholds.
