Hi!
There was also a scenario now you mention it, "Fight for Coal Mountain" or something like that. The SM's had to stop the Orks ferrying coal from a stockpile to their gargant before they could start the beast up and blow them all to hell & back.
So it appears we've all got excited over an idea which we've actually had available for years........ Oh well

Good recall Tuff, I remember that one too!
One question though is steam more efficient than coal or the other way around?
I wonder if they use fossil fuels, the flyers seem to....

1) coal burners and steam are not mutually exclusive
2) coal IS a ffossil fuel

Hi!
I meant fossil fuels as in crude oil.
Is coal a fossil fuel? What fossil does it come from?

Primarch,
I do not think it was so much a contest as it was an awairness of how many more a single person had.
The top posters has 300 to 500 each. One person had 1850+ posts.
No one even thought they could "catch" PG so it was not a contest. However, when the new board reset everyone it was odd that for just a few moments we had more then he did.

Its carbonized vegetable matter from millenia ago is it not?
Thus making it a fossil fuel. 
I have no idea which is more efficient, but I would guess that their aircraft have to use internal combustion technology at the least, but whether they produce tha parts of scavange them is another matter......_________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

Hi!
Well you learn something everyday, I thought coal was just a mineral deposit.
