Aeronef for fleet actions. Tony
Black Hat Miniatures	23 Nov 2016 3:30 a.m. PST
Martian Empires for mass combat GASLIGHT for skirmish Mike
CaptainDarling	23 Nov 2016 4:28 a.m. PST
For the skirmish style games I play I use FUBAR VSF with a few house rules…
durecell	23 Nov 2016 5:10 a.m. PST
In Her Majesties Name for skirmish.
TheBeast	23 Nov 2016 9:51 a.m. PST
Where's the 'all of the above' button? Really, I have to ask several of questons already asked before even trying to answer that question. Really, IHMN, GASLIGHT, Battle By, Martian Empires for a kind of spectrum. Love the 1889 universe, a bit less the rules, though I'd love a bit of a mashup of it and Castle Falkenstein. Less Fae, more 'the rest of the world.' Doug

Space 1889 and Martian Empires
DLIinVSF	24 Nov 2016 5:17 a.m. PST
Space 1889 IHMN …………..yes I bought a copy in the end after protest Gaslight and others but all converted to one degree or another to suit our style.
Craig Cartmell	26 Nov 2016 6:04 a.m. PST
Well DLlinVSF did you like IHMN after you'd got them? :)
tkdguy	27 Nov 2016 2:45 a.m. PST
Castle Falkenstein, either the original game from R. Talsorian or the GURPS version.
DLIinVSF	27 Nov 2016 9:18 a.m. PST
Mr Cartmell I'm in a most positive mood at the moment so all I'll say is they work for what they are. :)
Knockman	28 Nov 2016 7:33 a.m. PST
In Her Majesty's Name Space 1889 – Soldiers Companion The Men Who Would Be Kings And also adaptations of: FUBAR Killzone Stargrunt 2 Science vs Pluck
Last Hussar	28 Nov 2016 4:00 p.m. PST
I'd like to do something a bit larger scale, for use with Pendraken 10mm tripods, with pith helmeted redcoats on lines rather than skirmish
