About the Author
Eric Farrington is a seasoned wargame designer and historian whose passion for aerial warfare and speculative military history has shaped his innovative contributions to the tabletop gaming world. With a background in strategic simulations and a keen eye for blending historical accuracy with imaginative what-ifs, Farrington crafts immersive scenarios that transport players to the skies of alternate timelines. His debut work, Castles in the Sky: A Wargame of Flying Battleships (Osprey Wargames, 30), exemplifies his talent for creating accessible yet deeply tactical rulesets that evoke the grandeur of Victorian-era flying dreadnoughts clashing in epic battles.
