Aeronef for fleet actions.

Tony

IUsedToBeSomeone23 Nov 2016 3:30 a.m. PST

Martian Empires for mass combat

GASLIGHT for skirmish

Mike

CaptainDarling23 Nov 2016 4:28 a.m. PST

For the skirmish style games I play I use FUBAR VSF with a few house rules…

durecell23 Nov 2016 5:10 a.m. PST

In Her Majesties Name for skirmish.

TheBeast Supporting Member of TMP23 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

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 Cartmell26 Nov 2016 6:04 a.m. PST

Well DLlinVSF did you like IHMN after you'd got them? :)

tkdguy27 Nov 2016 2:45 a.m. PST

Castle Falkenstein, either the original game from R. Talsorian or the GURPS version.

DLIinVSF27 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. :)

Knockman28 Nov 2016 7:33 a.m. PST

Last Hussar28 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

jony66328 Nov 2016 8:15 p.m. PST

Land base Space 1889 Soliders Companion

In the air Imperial Skies or Space 1889
