Space 1889 Soldiers companion
« on: March 23, 2006, 05:53:08 PM »
So I decided that I want to Wargame again and I dusted off my old copy of Soldiers Companion for Space 1889. Its a steampunk Wargame system with minimal rules thats compatible with the RPG.

My choice is a quick built Turn of the Century American Army, made up of Old Glory US Volunteer Cavalry, dismounted (Rough Riders) a few gatling guns a few colt Machine Guns and a Dynamite gun.  I even found some flags for them on Warflag.com.

The Army is gonna be on the cheap, which is why Old Glory is a good choice. 29 bucks for 30 Figures and a Command. 13 for the Gatlings and 13 for the Dynamite Gun and MG's.

Im half tempted to get the Infantry and 1 of the artillary packs and get a German Seebattalion group and a Krup Gun too, to fight against.

Seebatalion have a tropical German look about them though, so thats a maybe.

I need to build an Aerial Gunboat... but thats easy... a little balsa some heavy card and some decoration.

Viola Americans on Mars. I already have a bunch of shock troops from Old Glory's WW I line. (Americans with Gas Masks)
Its an automated robot. Based on Science!
