Hi folks; I am looking for a few good GMs who would like to attend Origins 2005 and not have to pay to get in. My name is Paul Riegel-Green and I am the...
Alan, I have been toying with the idea of 6mm armies, and have an Aphid that is about 60% completed in 1/300. It is your typical balsawood sandwich. It is...
... I've put together a fairly serious 6mm force for 1889. I ran a battle at Origins 2004 with it, it went over fairly well. I used the standard ships from...
Ethereal Gothic Chapter 2, Turn 6 The ongoing story of my Space:1889/Masque of the Red Death PBEM Game. I've included a short Dramatis Personae at the end of...
OOC: Never too early to think about Origins! Checkout http://www.originsgames.com/ I'll be running two Space:1889 Soldier's Companion games, one Fairy Meat...
I find this thread very interesting. First I have to say that I have studied Meiji Japan (I wrote a thesis on the economics of the Chinese-Japanese War), and...
Terry, I have to quibble with you about the Russian officer corps. Yes, there were many hacks, but there were just as many hacks in the British officer corps...
... mmm -- Just curious, but could you maybe elaborate on that and outline (or point me to some web material) the differences between french and prussian ...
... The Battle of the Yalu (1895) was the big naval victory for Japan. I run it as a straight historical scenario at Origins using Ironclads and Etherflyers....
... Dr. Moyen, This is a little outside my area of expertise (and I don't know of any web resources). There are chapters in two books _Soldiers of the Sun_ by...
... Yes, but all of these islands were seen as integral parts of Japan. It wasn't a land grab as much as reassertion of control of these islands. ... True,...
... Michael, You'll probably never be able to find it, but Edwin Leung (who is a professor at Seton Hall) did his dissertation on the quasi war between Japan...
... the ... 360 ... We were just talking about this earlier tonight. Some things about the Monitor, though: 1) As built, it would be far too heavy to fly 2) As...
With everything being unavailable etc. and much of what was available (particularly the plastics) not very good I'd been thinking of possibly doing my own...
You could use the long standing poll for the Gametech minis as an indication to work out some basic cost/benefit ratios, although if I had to replace the ships...
Aditionally, amy of the CW casemate vessels also cannot be built by the rules (unbalanced broadsides & pivot guns within the casemate but not in sponsons). ...
I have too many of the 1/1200 minis to switch sizes now. I might buy a few 1/600 minis if you produce them, but nowhere near the number of 1/1200 minis I'd...
I'd certainly purchase 1/600 scale sky galleon minis since most of my SGoM games are only a few ships per side, and 1/600 would look really nice on the table. ...
I would also buy minis at either scale. Martian ships would be my preference since some of the existing miniatures from other current manufacturers can stand...
Mike: As long as your doing it for the love of the hobby and you don't expect to make a profit I would say "go for it"! Having said that, I have gobs of the...

Yes. I have seen pictures of your liftwood flyers before. They are gorgeous! Unfortunately, I live in New Jersey. The convention is a bit too far to drive...
