completes a Confederate river ironclad.
Wessex Games have confirmed their 2006 plans in respect of their Redcoats on Mars Victorian Science Fiction line.
Two new games are planned for the summer of 2006.
First off is Aquanef, the long-awaited VSF submarine rules inspired by the works of George Griffith and Jules Verne (amongst others).
Aquanef will include rules for pitting the Great Powers aquanef forces against each other, as well as monstrous marine life and a new alien race discovered living on the sea bed. A geo-political timeline and scenarios will also be included.
Secondly is Land Ironclads, a 2mm scale landship game inspired by the works of H. G. Wells and Albert Robida, and designed to work with Wessex's existing 1/1200th VSF flyer rules (Aeronef) to allow for combined Land Ironclads/Aeronef battles (as well as standalone VSF land battles).
Land Ironclads will also include rules for chemical warfare and Martian tripod war-machines, as well as stats for historical and VSF troop types, a specific ground warfare timeline and scenarios.
Whereas the Aeronef background starts in 1884, Land Ironclads begins with the first use of armoured tractors by the British Army in the Crimean War, through the American Civil War to the Great War of 1899.
