As always, got a couple Space:1889 games in there:) GMWestermeyer's 2007 Origins Event Schedule Wednesday, July 4 The Battle of the Yalu 7 :00 pm to 10:45 pm...
A quick question from a guy who has just purchased the game; is it possible to have both sails and a screw propeller or steam engine on the same aerial ship? ...
The short answer is "Yes", but you have to have separate crew for both. Your topmen cannot double for your blackgang, and sails make a great brake, so furl...
I'd say that the rules would be virtually identical except that a screw galley crew can get up to speed in a few turns, so treat a screw galley/Kite combo like...
hello everyone there! I'm new to this great game, and I've managed to buy a boxed set of Sky Galleons. So I'm here with a stupid question: what exactly are the...

Can't help with those ships as I never owned a boxed set, but check through the files here or try and get the books off ebay or other places since they are in...
Those are some beautful ships. A couple of pictures did turn out kind of blurry though, most noticeably of the Dauntless. A few questions. What was your main...
the main building material is some fiberboard for the deck and insulation board for most everthing else its light . Then of course balsa. We have played...
... Do you think you could post your charts in the files section here? I'm curious as to how a 25mm scale would work out. I've built a couple of 15mm scale...
I have never seen (or read about) how a sky galleon docks, loads/unloads cargo/passengers. I've also never read about how this is done. Does anybody have any...
well Tim I'm sure they would dock like a hot air balloon. Lowering a few lines and mooring them to ground. Then by the use of pulleys and ladders reequip the...
I have a mental picture in my mind of a really high (but ground level in the game) structure with a peir or similar in the air. Access to and from the...

In the S:1889 main book there's a picture of a "Martian Fortress Villa." Part of the Villa is what is clearly some kind of elevated dock for aerial vessels. ...
I actually imagine the Martian cities built up like Tels, and sky galleons docking on the high-walled canals' upper levels (the drag decks and lower masts...
... When I built my fortress villa model I assumed that's what that tower was for; a high dock. The tall tower structures in much of the art also make sense as...
