NickH: Can you explain briefly how altitude affects the game. I imagine it relates to line of sight?

That's maybe a bit off topic for this thread ;) so I'll write up something for my blog and post a short summary here when it's ready :)

Okay, I DID try to subtly suggest JimBibbly post images here, but this is a mid-thread page with the start of some smashing 'nefs.

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=21604.30

This is page 3, and I think they start up again about page 7.

Thanks for the suggestion but that thread is too much of a mess for a sticky. I shall take some beauty shots of them all and post them here if you like  :)

We ran the latest play-test of Full Neff v3 on Sunday.

My French fleet was comprehensively defeated by the Spanish  :(


But it was a great game despite my defeat :)

You can find a pictorial report here:

Incredibly late for a followup, I'll admit, but the answer is YES!

Also, I know it's been mentioned elsewhere, but I've just seen Ironclad's Scout Aeronef for the first time just recently. *blush*
