"Well, if you're talking about the real world, an airship might make a somewhat effective bombing platform, though to do so from a safe range would mean extreme inaccuracy. The nice thing about bombs is that they can be almost all payload…"

"You're most welcome. The vibe is the game is awesome and, more importantly for me at least, the setting and atmosphere are spot on. It's just a shame I don't have time to play it right now :("

Hey all. I'm working on a steampunk novel and have come to this question, how exactly would a Georgian era naval battle work if one side was airborne? And I thought it would make a fun exercise for people to flex their minds as well as ease my research ;)In your opinions how would it play out? What factors would effect both sides?

"Do you mean this anthology? I picked that up a while ago and only read ta few stories, but the language didn't strike me as particularly Dickensian. It's important to get the tone right in period pieces, even in SP, but I don't…"
