Nice.
They remind of the UN range from GZG's Full Thrust

Wouldn't you know it, I just purchased a PDF download of the rules along with the Merchant Wars expansion. I think I'll wait until the Germans come out, though, before purchasing a fleet.  :8):

Hi Mojarn,
unfortunately, things are proceeding very slowly with the models - they're still working on the Russian and British fleets.
What do you think of the rules?

I just got them today so I have only had time for a quick skim-through during lunch. Don't seem to be too complicated and the background is very good.  :cool:

EDIT: I'd suppose the Germans are way off as they only feature in the last scenario of the expansion. After the Brits & Russkies are done the next one is probably Japan followed by China and France. Then it's Austria Hungary's turn and the Germans will be last.  :(

Ah I see. I agree with your first impression, although some of the extensive modifiers requiring verious dice might prove to be cumbersome. Anyway - report expected, Piett!  :p  :alien:

Sorry, no review yet.  :devil:  I'd just like to know how you like the ships? IMO they are good looking enough, but for some reason I'd like them to look more like WWI warships.

I'm still defintaely keen to get into some astronef type gaming at soem point, but am busy enough with Aquanef, Aeronef and Land Ironclads to keep it at bay for now.  Wessex want to do a simialr style game in the next year so i may hold off until then when I'll help playest that.

Anyway... the second Ironstars expansion, Southern Fornt, has been released

"Southern Front is the second supplement for Iron Stars, the game of space combat in an age of steam and steel. In this book, players will find additional game mechanics and background material that extends our semi-historical timeline through the pivotal year of 1912:

An overview of world history from the close of the Merchant War through the Antarctic crisis;
Nearly four dozen new ether ship designs, covering the space forces of South America, Italy, Turkey, and Spain, along with additional ships from Britain and Japan, and the introduction of the Soviet space forces;
Coverage of the Falklands War between the British Empire and the A.B.C. Powers (Argentina, Brazil, and Chile), including nine new scenarios;
The Red One, a short story by Jack London;
A new space station, HMSS Diamond Rock;
Rules for boarding parties and shipboard combat;
New special equipment, such as star shells and heat rays; and...
Rules for orbital bombardment of surface targets.
This should be more than enough to keep your ether navies occupied as the world marches inexorably towards the Great War.

Southern Front includes nine (9) sheets of counters and templates for use with star shells and orbital bombardment.

This product was added to our catalog on Monday, 1st May, 2006. 100 pp. perfect-bound. Listed at $19.95 USD."
