[Kickstarter] Ironclads: Space Battles in the Victorian Aetehr
« on: December 14, 2021, 04:37:16 pm »
A new naval game is being kickstarted! The basic premise is that its 1890, the major powers all have space battleships, and it's war!

Note, the campaign is entirely digital; the minis are intended to be 3D printed, and the written materials are provided via PDF. The ship designs themselves are interesting. Very stylized designs with some nice nods to historical 19th century warships, I bet they would work just as well for flying battleship games like Castles in the Sky!

I personally decided to jump into this one, mainly because the mechanics shown in the intro video look interesting and I've been looking to dip into 3D printing (through a friend that has a printer ;) ).

  . . . those are some chunky ships there  :P.   
But if the mechanics are interesting, no need to use them I imagine - Proxies are always available, after all.

I saw how they integrated magnets into the designs, which would make it easy to widen out the options for building a fleet with a minimum of storage.  Also, adding, removing, or upgrading turrets opens up a lot of potential for developing a campaign.

They do have a very distinctive style about them. I kind of find it charming, but I guess there is no accounting for taste  ;D. Proxies should be no problem; I don't see why Brigade's Aeronef minis couldn't work just fine. Or those neat paper versions!

Ok, so I backed this.  I dig the fun and cartoony aspect of the designs.

I expect you to run me through a game when it comes in!
