Air Supremacy: Full Card Overview
1 day ago
Hello, Commanders!
The wait is nearly over - Air Supremacy, the KARDS fall release, takes to the skies tomorrow!
This release introduces 19 new cards across all nations. Every main nation (Germany, Japan, Britain, USA, and the Soviet Union) receives three cards - one Elite, one Special, and one Limited. In addition, each of the four ally nations (Finland, Poland, France, and Italy) joins the battle with a new Limited card.
Air Supremacy soars into action, bringing a host of new units and orders that showcase the power and versatility of aerial combat. From precision strikes to daring maneuvers and strategic disruption, these cards open up fresh ways to control the battlefield and outmaneuver your opponent. No matter your playstyle, you'll find new tools to sharpen your strategy and dominate the war from above.
Let's take a closer look at what's coming with each nation.
Germany
Germany doubles down on precision and devastating air support.
SALAMANDER (Elite) - A swift blitz unit that slips away after each strike, returning turn after turn as long as it survives. Difficult to pin down, it’s perfect for relentless hit-and-run assaults.
HENSCHEL HS 129 (Special) - A heavy hitter specialized in destroying ground units, dealing double damage to ground targets including enemy HQs, and bringing the heat the moment it enters the battlefield.
HARASS (Limited) - Send an enemy unit on the battlefield back to the owner’s hand, then convert it if you control an air unit - a precise tool for breaking momentum and disrupting enemy plans.
German air decks gain new reach and disruption, making them as unpredictable as they are deadly.
Japan
Japan takes the skies with cunning ambush tactics and sacrifice mechanics.
KYUSHU J7W3 (Elite) - A versatile fighter with Ambush and the potential to gain Fury when undamaged, offering solid value and tactical flexibility.
FLIGHT TO OBLIVION (Special) - Sacrifice the top air unit of your deck to trigger unpredictable destruction on enemy units and their HQ. A calculated gamble that can swing the battlefield in your favor.
N1K1 KYOFU (Limited) - A nimble ambush fighter that slots neatly into both shuffle and navy strategies, adding flexibility to precision-focused tactics.
Expect the unexpected when Japan is in play - fast, elusive, and devastating when timed right.
Britain
Britain sharpens its arsenal with new defensive and disruptive options.
WHIRLWIND (Elite) - A fighter that’s tough to handle, striking back at the enemy HQ each time it is targeted or attacked.
TIGER MOTH (Special) - A light bomber that strengthens your guard units, turning sturdy defenders into real offensive threats.
POUND (Limited) - A devastating order that deals damage to a ground unit equal to your combined air attack.
These cards give Britain even more flexibility between control and aggressive skies.
USA
The United States reinforces with raw power and support synergies.
TIGERCAT (Elite) - A fighter that continually adds SBD 3 DAUNTLESS bombers to your support line, growing your advantage the longer it stays in play.
SEAHAWK (Special) - Protect your reserves by reducing incoming damage from enemy cards.
SCREENING FORCE (Limited) - An order that deploys two SBD 3 DAUNTLESS bombers with Blitz to your support line, and becomes more cost-effective when backed by BREWSTER F2As.
With these cards, the USA combines steady pressure with flexible support, giving commanders new ways to dominate the skies.
Soviet Union
The Soviet Union brings gritty, sacrificial strength to the skies.
ILYUSHIN IL-10 (Elite) - On destruction, it retrieves your last destroyed ground unit into your support line.
LITTLE COBRA (Special) - A blitz fighter with powerful stats for its cost, though it demands a sacrifice by destroying another random friendly unit when deployed.
OUT WITH THE OLD (Limited) - Push your damaged air units beyond their limits, unleashing their final effects before transforming them into a fresh YAK-9 to keep the fight alive.
Soviet players will thrive on risk-reward plays, turning sacrifice into long-term value.
Ally Nations
The Ally nations each receive a new limited card to round out the skies:
Finland - FOKKER D.XXI: A nimble fighter whose deployment suppresses an enemy unit, opening the way for your other forces to strike.
France - SALLY : A versatile order that adapts to its target: pinning tanks, suppressing infantry, destroying artillery, or sending air units into retreat.
Italy - AIR STRIPS: An order that bolsters your forces by adding an Italian bomber to your hand and naval order on top of your deck.
Poland - PILOT ESCAPE: An order that develops an air unit of your main nation, making it cheaper to deploy and operate.
The Ally nations each gain a unique tool that plays to their strengths, expanding their role in any commander's strategy.
