Whilst perusing my Portable Babbage Machine to see who the Old Etonians have signed before the latest association football transfer window closes an electronic missive popped into my incoming box from those clever chappies at Fat Dragon Games that will be of interest to the cleverer bods amongst you who play that H G Wells wallah's Little Wars game.
Seems the Dragon chaps have produced a paper model of Doctor Drake's Patented Aerial Steam Carriage which would have been jolly useful on campaign in the mountains of Dodjibottistan I can tell you (the Aerial Steam Carriage not the paper model, well thinking about it and those blooming curries maybe the paper model as well, harrumph!).
Swift wallahs who get a move on can get a 20% discount at RPG Now and you can print as many as you want. What ho!
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!"

Indomitable Armoured Siege Tower
What ho chaps! With the ever present threat to our fair isle from the nefarious Froggies and bally Sausage Eaters across The Channel it is reassuring for all English gentlefolk to be rest comfortably in their beds knowing that the factoriums of fair Albion are filling the our arsenals with the best ordnance in the world! Witness the latest weapon to trundle out of the Rotcod Factorium, the Indomitable Armoured Siege Tower!! They will be quaking in their boots in Paris and Berlin I can tell you eh what?!

John Carter
Taking a break from watching England thrash the bally Indians at The Oval I sat down with a fine port and piece of game pie at my portable Babbage Engine this afternoon and came across this chronophotographic adevrtisement for a forthcoming feature about that Yankee bounder who we came across on Mars (he'd gone bally native don't ya know).
Harrumph! Whatever, it put the wind up one to see one of those bally four armed green Martians again I can say, time for a stuff one what?

Top Of The World!
A rounding huzzah from all stout fellas for the indomitable Mister Strauss and his brave Englishmen who by thrashing the bally Indians at Edgbaston yesterday are now officially recognised as the best test side in the world! Must mention Cookie's 294 career best, jolly good show. Off to the Oval now to see if we can whitewash the blighters 4 to nil. What ho?!
