New Nefs

...but no, not from me!

I found this new blog with a new foray into Aeronef with some nice Japanese and US nefs, as well as a home made Nef.

Thanks TWIW

A big thanks to Ken at "This Week in Wargaming" podcast for his plug for Aeronef over the Aegean: Wrath of the Syren in the latest episode (AT-6). The project has now raised over USD$100 for the relief effort in Haiti.

So many thanks to Ken and everyone who has d/led this product- hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Tis a week to be Published!

Hot on the heels of the release Aeronef over the Aegean, I received my copy of Ragnarok 56 today. And a cracking read it is BTW!

In there in the "Melting Pot" section (for miniatures reviews) was a review I did of Brigade Model's HMVS Cerberus which I put together last year and frankly forgotten about! So my first modest written contibution to SFSFW has been published (I have had a picture in there before)- open the Gin!

BTW - one of the two surviving Guns from Cerberus lies less than a km from my new house!

Open the Gin...again!

The Factorium is still boxed up but the bar is unpacked and we are back online in a secret new location in the southern provinces of the colony!

The new residence (a true heritage syle mansion I must say) even has its own lemon tree for the freshest GnTs possible - lovely!

[and I see we cracked 60 followers in the meantime - welcome lads!]

Once more into the Hindu-kush!

The baggage is packed and the bearers are ready. A small yet well furnished palanquin has been prepared for the ladies travelling with us. Time to depart for the new abode - I will rejoin the YIAWWS team once the bar has been erected at the new estate!

Huzzah!

Karsten's Brazillian Fleet - Nice eh?

Factorium Closes

In preparation for next week's relocation to more southern provinces of the Colonies, my VSF Factorium has now officially ceased production. Today saw packing begin in earnest, including the boxing of factorium automatons and materiel.
We hope to re-commence production of vital war supplies as soon as possible.
Long live the Queen!

Merry Christmas to All!

Best Wishes for a very Merry Christmas to All!

Rivers in 2mm scale

Sick of the lack of rivers terrain available in 2mm, SteelonSand has published an article on converting some from larger sclae ditches. Its simple and very effective - well done old Chap!

Its got me to thinking its just the thing to try some medium altitude bridge-busting sorties with some Harasser Squadron 'Nefs...surrounded by Anti-Aeronef Land Ironclad batteries of course!

SMLS Syren

Mssr Blease of Wessex fame has conconcoted a lovely replica of the Baron's hard hitting and extensively modified SMLS (Seiner Majestät LuftSchiff) Syren.

While you have to wait just a little longer to read about the Baron's adventures (worth the wait I hope!), enjoy Steve's modelling here:

Holiday Greetings From VSF And 15mm Science Fiction Gaming

From Our Lot To Yours All The Best This Christmas!

Aeronef over the Aegean!

More news from Wessex Games:

Having finished the typesetting of Aeronef Over Carpathia it has been
renamed Aeronef Over The Aegean as the battles take place there not
over Carpathia!! :-)

Hope to have it out the week commencing the 21st, Brigade are doing a
campaign pack for you to buy with all the models you need to play the
campaign.

Steve

Sweet!

Aeronef over Carpathia

From Wessex Games:

Apparently there is a rumour on TMP that Wessex Games are "intending to go out of business", not true, we've just been over taken by real life pressures that occasionally impact us.

As proof that we are still around we are going to release a nice little Christmas present for Aeronef gamers in the form of Aeronef Over Carpthia (Wrath of the Syren) - and the really good news is that it'll be free!

Written by Paul O'Grady, this is a three scenario mini-campaign centred around the actions of Hungarian noble Baron Lantoz in 1890's Eastern Europe against the might of the Ottoman Empire.

Typesetting is underway and we should have Aeronef Over Carpathia available as a free PDF download at Wargame Vault in time for some festive 'neffiness.

Sounds awesome (and well written to boot!). OK, I can now confess this secret project which I have been working on over the last few months. Kudos and much thanks to Ogrefencer for his significant written input, and to Zophiel for his excellent artwork.
