Whats the humdrum about Chaps? Well its this Officer's adventures into Victorian Science Fiction and Steampunk. Beware: general 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 a great deal sense, but there will be large quantities of claret and a nice cheese board at the end. Tally-Ho and "Vôtre dans une sauce au vin blanc!"

Yes, time for my biennial relocation of the Man Cave and its associated factorium.
Will be offline for a bit, but will advise when my drinks cabinet has been firmly re-established!

View Halloo Chaps! With the cook busy making some festive brandy pies and basting the goose under the Memsahib's careful instruction I retired after a lunch of crubeens and beetroot to the study and was browsing the interweb on my personal Babbage Machine when I discovered a new business organisation in the Little Wars market called Troublemaker Games.

Back to work at last, and here are some islands, two from the Dreadfleet set, two improvised from discarded beach toys. At the rear is the dreaded 'hand of Neptune', actually a rather creepy doll hand reaching our from the sea. My VSF ships are still not deployed after the move to my new headquarters, so I had to borrow an old Man O' War ship to set the scene. The 'water' is the Dreadfleet mat, which in defiance of my original scepticism works quite well.

Gentlemen, and boys of a certain age and intelligence, will be pleased to learn that those wallahs at Warlord Games have released a Rorke's Drift play set complete with buildings, loads of blooming zulus and some stout redcoats so one can recreate the heroic battle using Well's Little Wars on the dining room table with a port once cook has cleared away the Christmas goose...

The Imperial War Museum now has wonderful online photos attributed to renowned Surgeon Oscar Parks taken during WW1.
He was a RN medical officer who became the editor of Jane's Fighting ships in the 20 and 30s). These are just a few of my favourites.
