In 1884 American inventor Frank Stockburn invented a machine that generated a power opposite to that of gravity. His machine, called the Negative Gravity Screw was used to make the first Aeronef. History changed from that date...

Aeronef is a set of wargames rules allowing you to fight battles of aerial warfare in the last decades of the 19th century. A simple game to play, yet challenging to master, the Aeronef rulebook contains:

* the basic rules for aerial combat between Negative Gravity and R-Matter powered aeronef and lighter-than-air aerostat.

* an optional complete geo-political and scientific timeline from 1852 to 1899.

* optional rules for players to expand the game to include bombing ground targets, anti-aeronef and quot;archie and quot; fire, fixed-wing craft and taking off and landing.

* military review of the Great Powers aeronef capabilities.

* full design and modification rules for players to create their own perfect craft.

* four introductory scenarios set during the Great War of 1889-91, all with details of and stats for the craft involved.

In 1895 English adventurer the Earl of Redgrave and his bride Lillia Zaidie land on Mars in their R-Matter vessel The Astronef. History changed from that date...

The Aeronef Captain and #39;s Handbook is a supplement for our popular VSF flyer combat rules Aeronef. It contains:

* rules for introducing Martian aeronef into your battles with their new gas and electric weapons.

* an expanded geo-polytical and scientific timeline from 1899 to 1911.

* optional rules for players to expand the game to include air torpedoes, boarding, morale, multi-targeting, ramming and towing.

* Aeronef strategic game rules to allow you to play mini-campaigns.

* technological development timeline to reflect design improvements through the period.

* rules to include aerofauna on Earth and the colonised planets.

* four new scenarios featuring the new rules and craft in this handbook.

Please note The Aeronef Captain and #39;s Handbook is a supplement, not a stand alone product and you must own Aeronef to be able to utilise this product.

The and #39;Max and quot; edition of AirWar: C21 combines the standard rulebook with the Data Annex into one 65 page PDF rulebook to give you the maximum AirWar: C21 experience.

Land Ironclads is a companion game to Aeronef, our immensely popular rules for aerial warfare in an alternative late nineteenth century, concentrating on combat on the ground in the same period. The kings of the battlefield are huge fighting machines, the land ironclads of the title, which cross the landscape on tracks, wheels or even primitive mechanical legs, dealing destruction wherever they go. Small steam-driven machines, known as contraptions (akin to the tanks of the First World War), scurry between the hulking ironclads creating their own smaller form of mayhem. More conventional infantry, cavalry and artillery units, albeit augmented with all manner of fantastic weaponry, add to the confusion. Above them giant aeronef, aerostat and aeroplanes fight their own battles in the sky while raining down bombs on the units below, even as underground infernal machines burrow through the earth into the heart of the Empire. Inspired by the works of authors such as George Griffiths, Albert Robida, William Le Queux, H.G.Wells and Jules Verne, Land Ironclads includes:

- full rules for land battles between the Great Powers, and Martian invaders, fully compatiable with Aeronef and Aquanef.

- geo-political timeline and military overview of Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia, United States, Austro-Hungary, Italy, Spain and Martian invaders.

- statistics for over 200 different troop types and vehicles.

- five introductory scenarios. and nbsp;

These rules operate in three dimensions while only physically using two, height being indicated beside an aircraft. Weapon effectiveness is taken into account, and the skill of your aircrew is paramount. This is varied by nation and period to get the right feel for the game. The system also caters for game balance to ensure that no game is a walkover. There are simple rules for ammunition expenditure, Flak, Bombing, Night Actions, etc.

The rules are simple enough for a player to pick up the fundamentals quickly, and to control several aircraft. Experience has shown that a players can handle about 4 planes with ease.

There are a number of optional rules to make life even more exciting for the unwary, introducing new complexities into the game, as well as offering some emerging technologies.

While the rules are quite short, they are supplemented by introductory data with over 200 selected aircraft from the main theatres of World War Two. Players will be able to see the differences caused by new designs and trying to stuff more into an old design.

The rules are set at an operational rather than a tactical level. The system is based upon a detailed analysis of ship and weapon abilities for the period. Gunnery uses a fire effect table with no to hit rolls. Torpedo attacks also use a simple system. The game effects represent those significant hits which cripple a ship and rsquo;s ability to fight effectively. The ground scale of 1 cm to 500 yards (4 cm to the nautical mile) and time scale of 1 turn to 15 minutes enable realistic movement and gun ranges, combined with the problems of locating and identifying the enemy.

The system incorporates national skill ratings for commanders and crew, effects of weather and night, radar, hidden movement and spotting, carrier and air operations.

The rules come complete with 700+ ships and aircraft covering the era from 1890 through to 1945.

SQUADRON RECORD SHEET

Scudbusters II: Back to Iraq is a set of modern special forces combat rules which combine playability with realism in an attempt to provide gamers with a simple yet challenging game of special forces warfare based on the experiences of allied units in the Gulf and Iraq wars.

In the game the player takes control of the special forces units and operates in an increasingly challenging environment as fatigue and casualties take their toll the longer your troops are in the field. Iraqi troops are be controlled by reaction tables and can be as unpredictable as in real life.

This second edition of Scudbusters (originally published following the Gulf War) has been expanded to include Batthist fanatics, Fedayeen Saddam, AFV and #39;s Kurdish Peshmergas and North Koreans (for hypothetical and quot;what if? and quot; missions.

Designed for 20mm figures, the rules can be used for scales between 15mm and 28mm with ease.

AirWar C21 (2nd edition) makes the complex subject of modern air combat so disgustingly simple that it is ideal for beginners and experienced gamers alike. After a couple of games reference to the rule book will become occassional with players concentrating on shooting down their opponents rather than ploughing through the sub-minutiae of clauses and appendices.

The 45 page rulebook includes rules for aircraft characteristics movement, special manoeuvres, dog fighting and air-to-air missiles. Also included are optional rules for ground attack, surface-to-air fire, spotting, ejection and crashing. There are also ratings for 114 modern aircraft from the Chengdu Jianjiji-7A to the F-35B JSF, plus 92 AAM and #39;s, 59 SAM and #39;s, 5 gunpods, 72 anti-ground weapons and 26 AAA weapons.

So if you and quot;feel the need for speed and quot; and want to ride the and quot;highway to the danger zone and quot;, you need AirWar: C21 (2nd edition)...
