Thanks! I’m a fan of the Osprey stuff and I’ve seen these rules for sale but I’ve never seen a batrep or a review.

Thanks for the support and flip-through. The art is amazing and all unique to this book.

Yes, Leviathans at a game convention. I really enjoyed it! I wanted to buy it when other factions came out but lost track of it and never seemed to have expanded past the starter set. The miniatures were very cool with a clever dice system.

Thanks for the review, I appreciate you showing most of the pages for some actual rules referencing. This game sounds great to me, I already ordered the book. Looking forward to converting some plastic models from Dystopian Wars, as the visual style fits the theme for me.

And yeah, a quick reference sheet is needed for sure.

Haven't ordered this not sure if I will. Recently got the one book a Billion Suns. Some place I have a whole thing of plastic spaceships that I bought for a different project but It didn't work out Now all I can find is one small bag of a half dozen of them. Rest? buried somewhere in the garage probably.
I do have a handful of leftover plastic ww2 ships that I bought last century off the back of a advertisement on a comic book. Would be a starting point for this game before looking for some proper ships.

Altitude rules? That's an improvement over most of the other aeronef games out there.

Looks like it's been written with Brigade Models' minis range in mind? What makes this different/better than Imperial Skies, which also uses those figures? Are there rules for designing your own ships? Doesn't seem like it, so we're limited to just the fleet lists? Hope Brigade offers the same kind of support they have for their starships in Starmada and (in the older days) Full Thrust.

I will have to check out these rules as being inspired from watching the anime “Last Exile”.

Have you played any other airship games before?
