I’ve been trying to figure out what I want my Martian uniforms to look like for my VSF project.  I have two martian factions aligned with either Britain or Prussia.  For the Prussian faction, they are primarily a puppet Kingdom supported by the Prussians.  They are a once great Empire that now has to depend [...]

I’m on a foray into some Victorian Science Fiction for a nice change from the historical.  I needed some dastardly opponents for my red coated Brits and who better than the Germans right?  Two world wars and one world cup and all that, what what! What do you think of these?  Are they ready for [...]

Megagame – A term used by H.G. Wells upon the invention of recreational wargaming, as documented by his chums. It usually means a larger than usual game that contains many participants. Usually a game that requires many participants to collections to pull off. There, now it’s official.
