New Victoria, Mars. 20th August 1889. The offices of the Illustrated London News Overseas Reporting Team.
Your humble Reporter Archibald Harris-Hampton Esq. has come into possession of a copy of a letter dated 15th August 1889 from Lord Belborough of the Belborough Mining Company based in New Victoria, Mars addressed to The British High Commissionar Sir Sidney Rough-Diamond of the Martian Protectorate also Based in New Victoria the contents of which we publish for your consideration below:
Esteemed Sir,
I write to advise of the continued hostilities being shown by the indeginous skyborne Martian population against employees of the Belborough Mining company and its various properties. In recent days increased aerial activity is being seen along the canals, telegraph lines are being cut, trade caravans and convoys are being harassed and property is being burned.
I regret to inform that I believe an all out attack by these sky dwellers to be imminent and respectfully request the urgent action of the British government/protectorate in sending reinforcements to deter these natives and to defend the property of both the Belborough Mining company and the property of her Majesty Queen Victoria Empress of India, Venus and Mars (Gaud Bless 'Er).
Yours etc, etc
Lord Belborough
-
I hear war drums... :o
-
Excellent.
Send the troops there!
These natives are impertinent, how can they believe that they have any ownership on their native planet?
-
I hear war drums... :o
And they're getting louder... :o
-
*sniff* Sounds to me like the usual mischief the locals are up to. You know how ol' Burr-up-his-Bell goes on.
I'm sure a small force, entirely undermanned, led by the usual drunken sot we employ for such, will be sent to show the flag and cower these simple folk who MUST love the Queen (gawd bless 'er) as much as we.
The Right Honorable etc. etc. etc.

New Victoria, Mars. 22th August 1889. The offices of the Illustrated London News Overseas Reporting Team.
Your Humble reporter Archibald Harris-Hampton is saddened to report war has broken out on Mars between the sky dwelling Martians and the forces of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Empress of India, Venus and Mars (Gaud Bless 'Er).
A mining installation 50 Miles west of New Victoria was attacked at dawn yesterday morning 21 August 1889 by a sizeable force of Martians. Fortunately the attack was repulsed by a detachment of sailors from HMAS Albert after the Martians had attacked and slaughtered the sleeping crew of a Japanese Aeroneff which was moored at the site. Some of the miners joined in the fight which left the ground littered with the corpses of these Martian Devils. Casualties were light, but the exact number of our fallen is yet unconfirmed.
Fortunately our Overseas Reporting Team was present at the site so is able to bring you this news and also provide photographic images of the battle as it unfolded.
Details are still unclear whether this was an isolated attack by the treacherous Skyborne Martians or the start of an all out war. Our correspondent is unable to confirm the reaction from the normally peaceful city dwelling Martians with this unsolicited attack against the Queen's Subjects and also the reactions of the other great powers present on Mars.
We will continue to report the news to you as it happens.
Photos to follow soon! :)

Here is a brief pictorial overview of the Martian raid as mentioned in the Illustrated London News :)

Hard fighting ensues but the Martians only seem to be interested in probing for weaknesses and are not out for an overall victory

Excellent, although some of the commentary plays loose with the facts. ;) lol
I'll sort out the pictorial images as recorded by the Illustrated London News Overseas Reporting Team tomorrow night.
After all their report will be unbiased as they were there in an observational capacity only ;)

I don't play VSF and I don't want to play it, but when I see these pics I almost believe it's true.
VSF becomes a part of history! Congratulations.

Very nice report! You conveyed the action better than I think I do with my captioned photos.

Wasn't there supposed to be released an official T & T VSF rule set? I would be very interested in this. I still need to get my hands on T & T, but I only heard good about it so far and plan to get hold of it for colonial gaming.
-
@James... how did it work. Lots of modifications ?
@Jonas ... dont know when, mate.... dont know when.... I am so busy at the moment its terrible ? Maybe Malamute and James can share their experiences.
And...Gaslight is an excellent ruleset.
Cheers
Björn
-
The only modifications we made were to the Martians. We gave them two attacks in hand to hand and increased their movement rates, enabling them to move faster. (Our Martians are supposed to be very fast, agile and adept at hand to hand combat, so we wanted to reflect this).
The biggest challenges are going to be writing rules for flyers, The vehicle rules look easily adaptable to accommodate steam tech etc.
We'll keep you posted, this is the first of a number of games we hope to be playing on a regular basis. We also have a BIG game planned for late September, so need to have the vehicle/flyer rules sorted by then.

Certainly justified :)

As Malamute said, there weren't that many changes needed, Just for the Martians (which were actually decided after the game lol ). The fun will be working out the contraptions :D
cheers
James
-
Who caries said ruleset? Anyone in the US?
Though, have to agree, GASLIGHT does one fine, James' recommendation has me curious. Malamute, of course, can invest way more work in 'fixing' a ruleset than I'd like to consider. lol

Edit: Never mind; if at first I don't succeed, try try, oh, wait, there's a search box on Brigade Games. :D

Well spotted Rob. :D
JimBibbly came up with a recipe for pearlescent armour which is what we wanted for the Martians, I am glad it has worked. He is a genius but don't tell him I said that, or it will go to his head.
I am sure he will share the recipe when he sees this. :)

Very ingenious, I just thougt you had used the pearlescents available from W&N etc. They do a colourless one too which can be added to the paint of your choice.

Thanks for that Jim, very interesting. I'll have to give that a try at some point.
Hey, did you know Nick thinks you're a genius? I reckon you're in there... ;) lol

New Victoria, Mars. 28th August 1889. The offices of the Illustrated London News Overseas Reporting Team.
Dear reader,
Following the unprovoked attack on the mining camp at Barak-Taa-Naa last week there have been no confirmed sightings along any of the canals or established trade routes of the skyborne Martians. In fact for all intensive purposes they seem to have disappeared into the Aether...
...We can report however that telegraph lines connecting New Victoria to the Belborough Railway company headquarters at Quaa-Rak-Taa have ceased working. All contact with the railway and its staff numbering nearly 100 persons has been lost...
...A combined expeditionary force of both British and Japanese troops is at this moment heading for Quaa-Rak-Ta to maintain the safety of the Belborough Railway Company property and its employees.

New Victoria, Mars. 30th August 1889. The offices of the Illustrated London News Overseas Reporting Team.
Massacre at Quaa-Rak-Taa!
Dear Reader,
We are shocked to report that yesterday evening a highly disciplined attack was launched by the skyborne Martians on the Belborough Railway Company Headquarters at Quaa-Rak-Taa. The Martians overwhelmed the depot killing most of the employees, nearly 100 people in total, mainly all British subjects (with the exception of a few Chinese labourers).
So far the only survivors seem to be Jones 'The steam' an engine driver who escaped in one of the locomotives 'Bessie' along with two railway workers Messrs Chas Hodges and Dave Peacock.
From the report given by the survivors the attack was preceeded by a huge sandstorm which the Martians used as cover to get close to the depot. Once the sandstorm lifted the Martians charged in, quickly slaughtering the helpless staff. Confusion reigned and in the panic many of the staff tried to board the locomotive as it slowly chugged out of the station, most were killed as they stood on the platform.(Apparently leaves on the track delayed the departure)
The Naval Brigade company who guarded the camp were seen making a last stand with bayonets fixed huddled around their brave Ensign Mr Jenson Benson. We are unaware at this moment if they escaped the carnage.
More alarmingly Miss Fanny Fitznizentite daughter of one of Lord Belborough's company directors is also missing. She was last seen taking an early eveing stroll with her servant up onto a nearby messa.
We hope and prey for her safe return!
What to expect next? The Killing of more innocent British subjects? The citizens of New Victoria demand Justice!
What steps will the Martian Protectorate and her Majesty's (Gaud bless 'Er) government take to stamp out this insurrection?
Your Humber servant,
Archibald Harris-Hampton

Photo report soon. :)

Oh dear.

So far the only survivors seem to be Jones 'The steam' an engine driver who escaped in one of the locomotives 'Bessie' along with two railway workers Chas Hodges and Dave Peacock.
Jones 'The Steam' in an engine called Bessie? I note the difficulties of telegraphically filing copy through the ether, but surely the Illustrated London News' team of fact-checkers would have picked up on the fact that the locomotive in question was actually named Ivor.
Errors aside, I commend the brave reporting and accompanying photographic plates.

Not correct my friend. You will have to try harder. Bessie is correct in this context. The engine driver being called Jones is not the link.
You need to look for more clues as to the connection between Bessie and the owner of the railway company Lord Belborough. ???
Also whilst we are on the subject who are Chas Hodges and Dave Peacock ???
:D

Thorbjørn and I bought some copies of the T&T rules, so we should be able to try them out in the near future too. Perhabs going for some Darkest Africa engagement first though.
Keep up the good job :)

:o Very impressive!!!
I don't play VSF, but these pictures have a mixed feeling of "Once Upon a Time in the West" (the railway works end) and of W.Smith's "The Dark of the Sun" (the attack on the train carrying civilians trying to go away from war). And Mars seems to be the same colour as the land in both these stories.
Good work guys :)

I'm still working on it but it won't be long. The one in the photos is a little fancy for mass production but the web one won't be too much different.

Good photos Nick.

Each post here makes VSF look better and better. :)
Especially now I've decided to root for the Martians! Having groaned through John Carter as an in-flight movie recently, these guys are truly fabulous. :D

Oddly enough I never saw John Carter, so can't comment on its cheesyness, but JimBibbly seems to rate it highly,( he's not much of a film buff though) ;) lol
They're going down now they have incurred the wrath of the British Empire! :)
