Book Description

1990
"A Complete Set of 19th-century Aeronaval Miniatures Rules... ? Aeronaval Combat - Battles between seafaring battleships and aerial gunboats as two new technologies take form. ? Scenarios - Scenarios cover the conflicts that mark the slide of an increasingly bellicose and unstable world toward the inevitable Great War. ? Fleets of the World - Directory of the navies of Earth: their ships and their strengths. ? Campaign Rules - Pit your strategies against your opponent's. Deploy fleets and forces across the Earth's oceans. Armadas safeguard the seas; submersibles prowl their depths; and ether flyers dominate the skies. When rival nations go head to head, their ships and ether flyers clash in epic confrontations to decide the fate of their world. Upon mastering the Ironclads rules, players can match wits in exciting campaigns in the Caribbean, North Sea, South China Sea, and elsewhere. The rules clearly detail aeronaval combat: movement, attacks, ramming, and damage. In addition, advanced rules explore special weapons and vessels, such as deep-diving submarines, torpedoes, aerial ordnance, and more. All rules are compatible with Soldier's Companion and Sky Galleons of Mars. Ironclads and Ether Flyers is set in the Space: 1889 universe, but no other rules or books are required to play this game."

4.0 out of 5 stars Victorian SciFi Game, November 26, 2000
By 
J. MCCARTHY (Wauwatosa, WI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A fun game concerning ship combat in the Space 1889 game series. Space 1889 is a Victorian SciFi game concerning European colonization of the planets in the solar system. A great game for people interested in the period and the history of technology.

The ships are wooden and ironclad ships which float due to the miracle of "lift-wood" (discovered on Mars). If you like Ironclads or Smoke on the Water you find this easier to learn and quicker paced. I am glad to see it back in print.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ironclads and Ether Flyers--Reviewed, December 3, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
A fascinating 'what-if' game for blank-table miniatures enthusiasts, this game by Frank Chadwick is part of the Space:1889 game series.
If you have ever wondered what effect airpower could have had on naval warfare in the nineteenth century, here's your chance to find out. Straightforward and easy to learn...only possible problem is you'll have to homebrew your miniatures!
