Justified in Space... for those, for whom the Imperium doesn't act fast enough.

Ground Vehicles of the Worlds: 1905

30 years ago, Steampunk came to Germany, in the guise of Space:1889. I still remember spending hours in the local library, to find out how forced draught actually worked (spoiler: it’s a turbocharger for the firebox), because the rulebook was vague about it.

With this book, while it is for Hive, Queen and Country, you get decent information about all the newfangled gadgets available at the end of the 19th century. The fact, that Space:1889 takes place 15 years earlier is perfect, since all the technical changes taking place during that period are covered. A boon for long campaigns that take technical development into account.

The world of HQC (Hive, Queen and Country) is different from ours, computers (Babbage's analytical engine) have arrived and change many aspects of daily life.

The enemies are not the High Martians or the dastardly Russians, but bugs, big bugs, the Hive in the name of the game.

To combat them a plethora of vehicles on the ground and in the air have been designed, this special book covers nearly 80 different ground vehicles, not even counting subtypes. They are organized by country and by type and most vehicles come with illustrations, depicting views from the front, back, sides and top.

In addition the technical data contains everything from the dimensions, weight, weapons, armor, speed, range, and even fording, obstacle crossing and Trench crossing capability. This is more “Jane’s All the worlds fighting vehicles” than a basic RPG supplement. The 256 pages contain a plethora of information and background data. IMHO a beautiful addition for any Steampunk game, and a worthy addition to the other HQC publications.

The game uses the same combat system as AD43 and Warband, a very fast and furious 2d6 system, that gives combat and task resolution a speed, virtually unknown in other systems, while still keeping a good dose of realism.

It's so good that I am using it for mass combat resolution in Harnmaster.

Concerning the game itself, I personally love the time and the setting. Real history with a touch of fantasy and a portion Lovecraft should be the right stuff for fans of Howard's non-Conan stories, or for pulp fans altogether. If you are into real history, too, so much the better.

The face-lifting from the nearly 20 year old original helped the game and it also took care of some errors or unclear concepts.

IMHO it's well worth the money, as is the rest of the ZOZER stuff.

Supplement 3: Fighting Ships

This could be a great product and would rate 5 stars, if only the artist could draw. The deck plans are great, the illustrations are crap. Most of the vessels are classic traveller ships which have been published ages ago, mostly with the then ubiquitious Keith illustrations.

In this case I had trouble to identify the painted vessels until I looked them up in my print collection, to get a notion whatthe ship really looked.

German Vehicles of World War II

Very slovenly done. Same stats for the 88 of the Tiger (88/L56) and Kingtiger/Jagdpanther (88/L71) and 75 of PzIV (75/L48) and Panther (75/L70). The Jagdpanzer IV shows the picture of a Jagdpanther. I you make a supplement based on historical data, PLEASE be a bit more accurate in your research.
