There has been talk of a forthcoming rules compendium of GASLIGHT.

Here is a message from one of the authors on the GASLIGHT Yahoo group:

The Compendium will be out for Historicon 2010 if all goes well.

There will be aerial rules for both the GASLIGHT and fleet battles scales of
games. Both sets are going through play testing now.

If anyone on the list has things they'd like to see addressed in the rules,
please post them here. The Compendium will be a re-write (not a GW redesign) of
the rules from GASLIGHT, Battles, Leviathans, and To Be Continued, plus the new
aerial rules. We'll also include redesigned record sheets and slightly modified
vehicle hit tables that have different effects for walkers than ground vehicles,
for instance.

Too late.
I had thought about getting GASLIGHT rules but then I seen there was going to be a new version coming out, to far in the future for me though. Din't want to buy the old ones just to have to update them next year.
So I went with your recommendation and have ordered a set of Valour and Flesh and Steel. I am currently waiting on the postie to deliver.

I play Gaslight and I have also just bought Valour Steel and Flesh.
VSF seems to be similar on a quick first read. VSF has lots of good fluff to set up their version of Martian VSF. Gaslight leaves it up to you. I currently play Gaslight. I think we will end up with our own house rules where we will pinch things we like from each rules set. I am also looking to get the Soldiers Companion SPACE 1889 miniature rules to see what they are like.

It is our club open day tomorrow and I am running a Martian VSF demo game.

Cheers
Fuzzy.

Nothing wrong with V&S&F, I think they are very similar in many respects to GASLIGHT. So hopefully you won't be disappointed.

Where did you order from? Brigade or Caliver?

On your recommendation I went to Caliver. Only ordered them a couple of days ago.

I was supposed to get an e-mail from them when they came back in stock.

Their comms are rubbish.

gamer Mac · « **Reply #8 on:** August 07, 2009, 12:50:22 PM »

I have just realised that I never checked my home email address after I placed the order, for my order confirmation. I will check it tonight. But it never said anything on their web site about being out of stock.
Their comms “may not” be bad but mine might be!
I will let you know.

twrchtrwyth · « **Reply #9 on:** August 07, 2009, 06:14:48 PM »

I speak about their comms from personnal experience. It's nothing you've said that has formed that opinion. I hope they are in stock though and your order confirmation has been sent.

gamer Mac · « **Reply #10 on:** August 07, 2009, 10:18:28 PM »

I have had a comfirmation email. No mention of no stock. Ordered them on Tuesday. Will let you know if they arrive.

I'm a GASLIGHT junkie, so this is very good news.

Probably very expensive, but very welcome anyway
