En garde

[Frank]

Not big on "steam punk", I like WWII and modern tech. One played a S.P. tank game at a con, with steam powered tanks vs invader big bugs! Our tanks won, but I think it was close.

I love the whole Steam Punk idea, I grew up on Jules Verne and H G Wells books.

They had two copies of "In Her Majesty's Name" at the local Half Price Books.... the other one was sold..... makes one wonder about the other purchaser.

I looked it up on the HPB website.... http://www.hpbmarketplace.com/In-Her-Majestys-Name-Steampunk-Skirmish-Wargaming-Rules-Craig-Cartmell/book/23979548?qsort=p&matches=24 It's going pretty cheaply online as well.

That's part of the allure for me, as well.... And Sherlock Holmes. But at it's base, steampunk is just friggin' COOL!

I've picked up several books from the Osprey Wargames series on the cheap from Amazon:
Dragon Rampant and Lion Rampant - Fantasy and Medieval Miniature Battles.
The Men Who Would Be Kings - Victorian Era Colonial Miniature Battles
En Garde! Skirmish Rules

Several of our guys have tried Lion/Dragon Rampant and there was talk of a campaign being run that I would have been interested in. I would have able to use some of my Saga minis and a few old GW Brettonians so the cost would have been minimal, that is the good thing about gaming that period, a medieval mini is a medieval mini.

Yeah, I've got some stuff lying around that could serve for the Historical or the Fantasy versions. Thes books appear to focus on actions with smaller numbers of troops, which is a blessing for those wishing to just dip theirtoes in.
