Prussians are chasing the British victims of the latest horrifying invention of Fabian Hertz (unknown brother of Heinrich Hertz) - The ABS-kanon! (the atomic binding length shrinking kanon)

Post by: Dr. The Viking on 30 March 2010, 11:24:10 AM: Thank you gents.

I seem to have an affinity for pouring rubbish science over you people. lol

At the time where our games are set the existence of the atom is still hotly debated.

But seriously. There is no way to explain a shrinking ray. o_o
Although unobtainium is probably the answer...

So that makes it fine!!! :D

Like what if Hitler was accepted to Vienna school of Art...

Or what if Elvis Presley was never popular.

Haha. So in your universe E = Mozart^2.

I like the idea of adding semi historicals to the background. My Fabian Hertz is another example. I am more reserved of using real chars though. OK - that's more of an issue in WW2 gaming though, as a lot of the characters are a bit dodgy at best.

That's perfectly explainable! There's Martians, they're out of unobtainium and now they're coming here to get ours. Period. ;)

Post by: Red Orc on 30 March 2010, 03:32:34 PM: Exactly. They tried in 10,000BC (causing the sinking of Atlantis), now it has re-appeared again, they want it!

The shrinking ray works by Pneumonihilizing Tenseo-stimulation, as anyone with a Doctorate in Specualtive Physics will tell you. Bombarding a subject with the right wavelength of Aetheric Flux (itself a result of the application of galvanic pressure on the Luminiferous Aether, for instance through the use of Aetherium/Unobtanium oscilators) makes all the matter in the victim's body crowd more tightly together (called 'Gravetic Densification'), making them smaller. As the name suggests, it also (through conservation of matter and energy) makes them denser (but not heavier).

It has yet to be tested in action. But I promise that surprises will be expected.

Is that just for ABS troopers ?

I spotted the same thing in one of Thorbjorn's other posts. I think it's all of his Prussians. IIRC, it was because he wanted them to look different.

I think they look rather nice! Very posh!

Foundry Franco-Prussian war Bavarians I think?

No no! Ze entire Prussian army ist in vhite uniforms.

I chose to accept the basic premise of VSF: It's VSF! Do what you want. Make it colourful.

OK I got the last part wrong perhaps, but still - I thought that white uniforms had a certain logic defying quality about them.

Nah, it's actually regular Prussian prussians from Foundry indeed.
