Van and Tas play Aeronef.
Whut - who me? Not unless I find an opponent...
It's got simple rules, which seem to work very well - at least in the one game I've managed. It's not an I go - you go turn sequence game, as both players get to move in the same turn depending on the command value of the units. A game can be quite fast, unless several units are used. It's got historical nations with scifi machines, which include three main categories:
Dirigibles
Aeronefs (which use anti gravity)
Aeroplanes - the latter having a minor role compared to the others, as they are small and unarmoured. You can get aircraft carrier dirigibles or Aeronefs for some fleets.
The rules are also being expanded to Aquanef (subs a la Nautilus) and Land Ironclads, with monster war machines and even troops and cavalry - at least according to plan, as LI and Aquanef have not been published yet.
The rules for the airships are not overdetailed - each vesel has hull points, gun points, command etc with corresponding points cost which can be calculated for any vessel from the range or conversions (yay
) SImple, but effective. The rule book includes all rules and a few scenarios, and the Captain's handbook adds extra rules and still more scenarios - not to mention gigantic monstrous flying beasties.
Not too expensive, either.
