American Expedition to Venus

[Sinewgrab]

Yet another gorgeous addition to the force, Ray.

Now go finish that 'Nef! 

[Bullshott]

Nice work Ray. Thats a nice force you have coming on.

What next? Gatlings? Artillery? Steam tanks?

Cheers!

Yep, all of the above, and maybe a surprise or two... 

[Mancha]

Great application and paintjobs.  Probably not exactly what those nice ladies at Empress were expecting of their miniatures. 

[twrchtrwyth]

Lovely.

[commissarmoody]

are you planing on doing dismounted cav also?

well, I wouldn't mind to have my customer range expanded by the use of fantasy 

[Admiral Benbow]

Fantastic unit, Ray! Lovely!
 

[Galloping Major]

WOW 

I don't usually venture into this area, but I can see I'm going to be lured in more often. Really creative stuff, love the use of the Empress cavalry 

[Ray Rivers]

Not sure.

First couple steam tanks will be finished soon, followed quickly thereafter by Col. Jim Beam (Commander, US Cavalry Brigade) and his mount "Stinky."   

Once again, thanks all for the nice words!

[Plynkes]

You had to go and spoil it. There was I enjoying those lovely horses and admiring the snazzy uniforms on the riders and you went and used them bloody words "steam" and "tanks" in the same sentence. Bah! I'm back off to Colonial Adventures - Wake me up when the steam tanks have gone.


Just joshing! Love what you're doing here, Ray. I'm rather jealous of your 10-man cavalry unit. Not being one who enjoys painting cavalry all that much I can never stick at it for long enough to get a unit together that is this big. But it really is worth the effort. Looks so much better than piddling little units of five or six.

Can't help but ask:  Who are these terrific Americans planning to fight on Venus?

On another tack, isn't VSF Venus supposed to be watery and swampy?  You could put that big 6in gun on an actual ship in the water, and leave the smaller guns to arm the aeronef.  Or is that VSF heresy?  (I sense Sinewgrab's bootheal headed in my direction... )

[Plynkes]

In the Space 1889 universe boats or Zeppelins are how you get about on Venus. Something about Venus gradually degrades the effect of "liftwood" over time and so eventually any nefs you take or build there won't be able to fly at all (liftwood originates on Mars). The original ether fliers sent to Venus never came back because they used liftwood for their atmospheric flight, and so the crews became stranded and doomed on the planet's surface, and were never seen again.

The Prussians, of course!   

And while most of Venus is covered in jungle rain forest, I anticipate heavy fighting for the mesas which climb above the forest and provide a livable habitat for frail humankind.

Mwa ha ha! See, everyone knows my VSF setting is superior
