All the Great Powers have gathered to pit man & machine against each other in a Race for the Ages.
Who will be the victor?

Yithians. (Possibly in disguise.)
-
Professor Fate, of course. :P
That looks fun!
And the contraptions are grand - I'd really like to see the Dutch and the Turk vehicles close up.
Is there any complete and ready-made rule set which works well for VSF? I would guess not....
Sorely tempted to build a couple of vehicles...or perhaps boats.

here ya go Vanvlak:

Oops, I'd confused the Russian and Dutch flags.
Anyway, they're all there - thanks very much BaronVonJ, those are brilliant. Larger than I though too, after seeing them with a couple of models I own.
Brilliant show! 8) 8) 8) 8)

Excellent stuff :)

Max! Push the button, Max!

Oh, PLEASE say we may see this at Recruits!

Once again RECRUITs is the weekend of my wedding anniversary. My wife is very understanding and may let me free for a night. I'm also thinking of debuting Fistful of Lead: Horse and Musket that weekend, too.

Please tell her it's also the birthday (Saturday) of two guests from the far flung wilds of Nebraska...
What the heck am I saying?!?!? As a firm follower of 'She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed' school, I admit she DOES come first. ;)

No doubt the player with the most sparkling teeth.

Doug,
trying to wrangle schedules so I can run it the Saturday RECRUITs. Stay tuned.

Fun! We've been playing lots of races lately, so I hope we can make it back to Recruits again.

Kewl! I shall look forward to leaving you far in my dust! However, probably moot saber-rattling, as I'm assuming no trip by middle of Sept. :D
If you ever get a chance, and I gather I mis-remember this as a Chris Palmer run game, though he did play, if ANYBODY is doing a flying carpet race at a big con, demand a place. Just TOO MUCH FUN!
However, REALLY looking forward to this one; as long as no one calls me Leslie. >:(

I came! I saw! I...
Oh, well, I started with a commanding lead!
Then dropped to second to last...
Then back up to second as we called the game! *ahem*
Deep bow to the Baron for a job well done!
I shall never listen to your advice again! lol

Sorry we missed it! I hope Jaye wasn't too busy to take a few pictures for us? ;)

Can't say for sure; perhaps during those times he was awkwardly bending over the table laughing maniacally...
Actually, did look like he did; hope he was successful. I'll assume he'll have a few up shortly. If only my phone camera wasn't the POS it is.
You did miss something special, and while a few minutes before we weren't sure we had enough to play, by game time, we were turning folks away, alas.
Was fun, and LOOKED fun; plenty of passerbys afterwards admitted it looked a scream. Great VSF promotion that!
And, a GREAT birthday present to me!

No, I really make no claim to having had a chance in the end; outside of a hand-o-Gawd from one of the other players, and most of the cards were gone, even a Hail Mary ram wouldn't have been enough.
A well-deserved, and cunning, victory for the Turk!
I suppose they will be insufferable in negotiations now...
Thanks again SO MUCH!!!

They'll probably ask to be buddies in the next war.

Why do you think I acknowledge their victory with such flowing praise?
What do the Americans call it, oh, yes, 'buttering up'. lol
