I thought I'd bring some attention to this project, as it looks pretty cool.

The creator is Elizabeth Little, also known as Lizwarhammer.

The game itself is sort of a necropunk naval fleet game. You recruit squadrons of Battleships, Battlecruisers, Armoured Cruisers, Light Cruisers, and Destroyers. There are some customization options for the ships directly (Battleships and Battlecruisers can be given upgrades), and there are a number of factions in the rules that add their own flavor to your fleet. The Empire of New Akannia gets Mass Produced Battleships and a Dreadnought, The Ochtvian Empire has Submersibles, the Thidian Republic gets a Flying Machine Carrier, etc.

The game plays with alternating phased activations, with players alternating activations of squadrons in each of the four phases: Command, Movement, Shooting, and Scoring.

It's a fast play set of rules, with standard games only last 5 turns.

You can find the beta rules here.

And here are pics of the "official" 3D printable ships designed by the creator, which you can find both at MyMiniFactory and Cults 3D.

I think they look amazing. Sort of what I'd imagine the ironclads of China Mieville's Bas Lag series would look like.

I love this project a lot as well.

I have the rules, and plan on doing a battle report on my blog, but have not been able to print out the templates yet.

Those look really damn nice. Looking forward to more from this and your blog post Easy E.
