The good Mr Suverkropp kindly wrote to tell me about the lovely Steampunk wargaming page of a delightfully lighthearted group somewhere in Texas – Major General Tremorden Rederring’s page!  They’re pleasantly free and easy about their lack of historical accuracy – steam velocipede torpedo’s are fired across the landscape of Ouargistan from experimental landships, desperately trying to fight back the martian menace!

In particular, I very much like the ‘contest’ that one of the players set the others – someone had turned up with their own landship (the above Her Majesty’s Land Ship Ogress), and a long time fan of Mr Wells work was so impressed, that he collected a hefty pile of junk, parts and components, and distributed them to the other players with the challege to make their own!  You can see the results here – I particularly like “The Bronze Bunny of Ouargistan”, but that may be due to too much Monty Python.  Lovely page, and definitely convey’s the lighter side of Steampunk!
