Martian naturalists have discovered, rather violently and bloody, the legendary White Apes of Mars on a recent expedition near Syrtis Minor!
You can these these beasts and some other rather wonderful VSFness here: http://www.agisn.de/html/victorian_sf.html
Whats the humdrum about Chaps? Adventures into Victorian Science Fiction and Steampunk with ramblings about Aeronefs, Dirigibles, Land Ironclads, Anarchists, Dinosaur Hunting, Terranefs, Aquanefs, Mad Scientists, and all manner of electric contraptions and steam conveyances. It may not make sense, but there will be claret and a nice cheese board at the end. Tally-Ho and "Vôtre dans une sauce au vin blanc!"

Aeronef Action at Fisticuffs
I found this photo from Fisticuffs 2004 at the PeterPig website. It looks very similar to the Wessex Games 'Nef demo game I attended at SALUTE 01, which I posted pics of here (last year some time) Who is that mystery man with the blue measuring device??? :-)

2mm Martian Infantry
Germy has been busy indeed..! He has produced these cephalopodic nightmares which you may recall from that terrible summer. He says:
"Following the description HG Wells gives I think they came out rather well :)Obviously they will need to get themselves in a fighting machine quick since there combat ability as lumbering hulks was never described!
So next up had to be a martian spread to the four winds. I thought people could build little dioramas of a fallen tripod and dead martian."
I know I'll be making up a diorama just like that!
