They look like a LOT of fun and I am feeling very tempted to get drawn into yet another scale/genre/period despite the dearth of time to paint and play what I already have. ?Then again as a good naval officer I like the old Ironclad type era. ?They also look like lots of fun to scratch build... For those who have no idea what I am talking about, Aeronefs are JulesVern-esque dirigables, zepplins and other like 'floating ships'. ?You can see what I mean here: http://www.blease.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/WG.aeronef.html http://www.blease.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/WG.aeronef.html All comments/experiences of this genre most welcome!

We played a ground conflict in the last game with a 25mm airship that flew over for air cover! One of the guys has built a number of 25mm airships. What rules did you use? I'm after something with detail, but able to play with a number of ships also for some squadron battles.

I think we used "Sky Galleons Over Mars" or something like that. I believe that the abbreviation is SGOM. We might have used Aeronef, but I'm not sure. I was more of a player than a rules afficionado or a gamemaster.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
