That makes even more sense!

(Less likely that we'd get Atlantis, though.)

(Or VSF Surfers.) (I say! Hang ten, old chap!)

I did think it sounded odd! So that'll be focused on the inscrutable east? Cool  :D

I had noticed that, had a flash of bad Troma from the 80's turned into VSF, and decided I needed to be still.

Actually on Osprey's site? Someone typing while thinking of an obviously much needed holiday?

Craig, will there be more comprehensive rules for vehicles and the like?

To a certain extent yes. There shall be more vehicles, both on land and sea. Indeed a whole section dedicated to small watercraft.

Our 'formula' for costing vehicles is nowhere as logical as that for figures and weapons/armour and has to be used with a pinch of common sense and a dash of pixie dust. This is because this was always a game about men not machines.

One thing worth noting is that most steam vehicles run off a Steam Engine, not a Steam Dynamo.

I'm definitely on board with the idea that the game is people focused. It still would be nice to have a couple of rules for vehicles, particularly if we can do ocean faring combat. The idea of underwater adventures, like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, is really quite compelling.

We'll hold you to that announcement. Does that come before or after the Back to the Future and Dr Who supplements? ;)

You haven't noticed the Dr Who elements already in the rules?

You know you'll have to do this now WHEN you reach supplement 18. Myself I'm looking forward to the Secret Adventures of Grace and Elgar. :D
