Mars Needs Women

Mars Needs Women : 

Complexity.......Moderate
Game Master.....Connell/Barosi
Game Type.......FT Variant & SG2
Players..............8-12
The pride of Queen Victoria's Aeronef troops battle Martians, a heathen race who are covetous of earth's women, thousands of feet above the Red Planet!
The year is 1883. Incredible advances in anti-gravity technology, pioneered by the renowned Professor Fripp, have enabled the British Empire to expand across the solar system. But England is not the only race that possesses the power of flight.
15mm Aeronefs battle for supremacy!
Broadsides and boarding!
Alien crystal oscillators versus the Martini-Henry!
A game too big for the table!
