Gentlefolk, A good friend of mine sent this to me this morning, knowing that I believe I was born 100 years too late, and I'm a rabid tea drinker. It really...
That is, as they say, Brilliant! My wife and I are tea lovers and we can't stop bopping around to this video. Thanks for sharing. I don't think I'll ever be...
You didn't automatically say "No thanks" to herbal before this? Perhaps you should seek membership in some other club, Sir! I'm not certain you are quite the...
I confess, I have dabbled in the bohemian offerings of Celestial Seasonings, but usually only when sick taken with honey for therapeutic purposes. I always...

I am working on a "flying" version of HMVAS Cerberus, an 1860's monitor. She had four 10" RMLs in two twin turrets - I thought to myself that's too bad because...
... Look at Ironclads and Ether Flyers, Ship Design, page 60, first column at the bottom. "A twin turret is more space efficient, and thus its weight of armor ...
... Strictly speaking the rules on page 60 of Ironclads and Ether Flyers are for naval ships. The rules on flyers (p63 - Armament) limit a 180 degree mount to...
I think a big part of the problem with dual weapon turrets (in terms of SGoM) is the balance issue. When a two gunned turret is pointed 90 degrees from the...
... Interesting idea but the same would apply to broadside guns as well. One big gun can mass as much or more than a bunch of little ones. I would be more...
We did this in our game as well, using the ship turret rules but as I recall we doubled the price of the turret to make it more expensive. So youget two guns...
... Ah, the 'Great White Whale' of SGOM! :) If anyone ever hopes to produce a second edition of SGOM I hope they make a note to include a paragraph on kite...
Many kites are depicted with sails extending below the main hull as well. Perhaps the wind passing over these lower sails provides sufficient resistance to act...

A newbie with an obvious question ;-) What do most of you use for color schemes on the Martian flyers? Also, do you use traditional colors on the imperial...

Dave, I always use bright colors for the Martians. The tiny ones are hard to much more than a block color, but trimming the large ones in a contrasting color,...
dave I use historical colors for the gunboats wich is blacks and greys and ochre some of the trims I use are not historical but they look good. It makes sense...
For those of us who are inclined towards smaller (God's Own ;) scale wargaming! These sculpts work nicely with the OG15s line of colonials, so now we can do...
No, It's not a John Norman book. Basically I am thinking about how the High Martians use slaves as turncranks. They consider the job to be beneath them and...
