In the "universe" of the "Space: 1899" game, the British have an orbital heliograph station which sends messages to their colonies on Mars. I thought that was a nifty idea!

I liked the idea of it, and bought the rules book and got the Cloudships and Gunboats boardgame. Never played any of it though, as my friends are not into RPG's :-( -Gnorn

Never played any of it though, as my friends are not into RPG's :-( -Gnorn It's a wonderfully written and illustrated game. Too bad their published scenarios aren't up to the writing level of the game itself. My RPG gaming group expressed interest but we never actually got around to playing it. I *have* played the Cloudships & Gunboats game a couple-three times with another friend of mine who's into wargames. It's a unique concept, but from the perspective of wargame rules it's nothing really special. Basically a slightly simplified version of "Wooden Ships & Iron Men" (which is a wonderful wargame!) with a 3rd dimension added.
