Aeronef - Victorian science fiction (steampunk) airship combat - French airship models

Aeronef is a game of Victorian science fiction airship combat, featuring biplanes, zeppelins, and sci-fi negative gravity ships. Although there is a fair amount of detail to keep track of in game, the core rules are simple - allowing battles with a dozen or so vessels on a side to be resolved quickly.

Initial Release:

My initial release of Aeronef material includes-
American ship models
Austria-Hungarian ship models
British ship models
French ship models
Ottoman ship models
2 maps
3 scenarios

Future Expansion:

I intend to eventually add-
German ship models
Japanese ship models
Russian ship models
+more maps and scenarios

This project began when I decided to make Aeronef counters from Jacob Johnson's excellent top down tokens available at JuniorGeneral.org. I discovered that by using the Tabletop Simulator attach tool I could create counters with depth to them by attaching layers of tokens on top of each other.

I then realized that by attaching effect cubes with sparks, smoke, and flames (from Fenrys's Lighting and Effects workshop item) to the models, I could display the increasing damage levels of the ships. I also used the fog and dust storm effect cubes from Fenrys's pack to add clouds to the game.

If you enjoy Aeronef, please support Wessex Games by purchasing a copy of the rules. The .pdf version of the rulebook is available at drivethrurpg.com and wargamevault.com for a very reasonable price. (Less than $7.00 U.S. at the time this was posted.) Brigade Models also produces an excellent range of metal miniatures for the game.
