Kewl beans!

Alas, don't log on to YouTube, so can't leave comments there.

He did have me going when he said 'three' factions for Irregular; I'll check, but pretty sure still Manacus and Uranus.

I will say that I HAVE used poker chips, as well as the smaller chips you can find in some board games, and suggest you don't dismiss that quickly. Given the number I've found in thrift/charity shops for damn cheap, ticks off that box.

As for thinness, you can always glue as many together as you need/want thickness. Basically three colours, but I use a red per 'mega-band' and a few white as 'band increments' between.

Dragonlance, now there was a blast from the past! Thick, soft white plastic disks with place to put the dragon base. I thought they worked like c**p, but did look awesome.

I assume plenty of folk, when presented with name of game flogged by Bridade Models as Aeronautica Imperialis, screamed 'Damn right too GW!' Actually, two games, Aeronef and Imperial Skies.

Thanks, Eric! I MIGHT consider this solution with a bit larger, steadier bit on the bottom if I ever give up on the Devil's tools.

Seriously, gambling equipment for sacred miniatures? Blasphemy!

Next I'll be rollin' dem bones... lol

The last rules update with Ground defense rules and ground defense stats is up on the blog. 

http://bloodandspectacles.blogspot.com/2023/05/wargame-design-castles-in-sky-ground.html

I will have a PDF version with the addendum data on Wargame Vault on the Blood and Spectacles page in a few weeks.  Until then the blog should get you through.  Enjoy!

The Joy of Wargaming has been ramping up to play some games of Castles in the Sky.  Here are some of his initial attempts at playing the game.  Might be of interest to those here:

Edit: The Joy of Wargaming does talk a bit about lack of a QRS and some other resources.  However, these resources are available on my Blog here:

There are a few rules errors that I address in the comments.

If anyone speaks German, perhaps you can give me an overview of this video?

As promised, I put all the blog content of new ships, expanded rules, the QRS, and a few other tidbits into a PDF and put it up on the Wargame Vault.
