paints "four characterful figures that seem to come directly from a vintage vampire movie..."
I have just recently gotten into the game of Aeronef, even though it has been around since the late 1990s.
I have put up a resource site for prospective and current Aeronauts at aeronef.info.
I will build on this as I come across ideas/resources that are worth mentioning to a larger group. Currently, I have a demo of the game done in Flash 8 and some play-aids up. I will be adding battle reports and fleet galleries as they come available.
Disclaimer:
Yep, I do sell the rules and the models from Brigade. I am happy to put links to other sites/retailers on the site, however. (Brigade Games in the U.S. is up there now.)
