Has anybody come up with rules for Aeronefs in the game ? |

Seems like the lack of cover against the advanced Martian weapons would be a problem. Still…the tanks are fairly well armed so you could just find similar stats that fit your 'nef and ignore terrain…keeping the movement speed. You might want to paint a big bullseye on the prow… |

So far, at least, the All Quiet universe seems to be fairly well grounded in actual science. The weapons and devices are all based on known principles. As I understand the term 'aeronef' you are talking about heavier than air vehicles using some sort of anti-gravity device to stay aloft. I'm not sure that fits into the universe Alien Dungeon is creating. But who knows what may come later? |

Hydrogen and heatrays are not a good mix… |

Are the long range weapons of the Martians heatrays? Reflective surfaces can partially defeat those. Don't have the game, only watch it play a bit. Anti-grav in this case could be some form of repulsion field, still tricky, but not impossible to imagine, and could be part of the Martian bag o' tricks, if you need. And why hydrogen? 'Our good friends' the Americans have plenty of helium. Doug |

Hot air would also be possible. Use the Martian heat ray for extra lift! |
