James’ Fighting Leviathans: Excerpt From 1910 PDF Available
Leviathans is a steampunk game that simulates combat between warships that have taken to the air in an alternate history 1910. The king leviathans, battleships, are the largest vessels. Maneuvering in support are light cruisers, destroyers and other vessels. Will you captain your fleet for king and country, expanding your nation’s power and becoming legend? Or will you fall from the sky, forgotten?
You determine the outcome!
James’ Fighting Leviathans: Excerpt From 1910 Edition is an 8-page PDF that includes four more ships (two each for the British and French fleets) ready-to-play with the Lieutenant’s Manual. The PDF includes full-color illustrations and histories of all 4 ships, Ship Cards and cut-outs for putting these leviathans into play on your gaming table. The HML Beagle and Montpellier are variations on the D-class and Grenouille-class vessels found in the Lieutenant’s Manual. The HML Courser and Ardent, however, are two new Light Cruiser classes. Add these vessels to your growing fleet to experience more of the fun of Leviathans !

And on behalf of myself, and all of the Levs gang, I’d like to wish all of you who’ve shared this site with us a very merry Christmas, and a new year full of aerial action!
Cheers!
Thanks, WT. And these ships come in handy forr our gaming session tomorrow…

And they were handy for this gaming session yesterday
The Courser is a nice ship, even if its stiffness at the helm precludes him to dance with the dreaded Pontbriand. It may make a jolly addition to a line of battle, though. I prefered the Raven to the Beagle, but it’s a matter of liking either firepower or resilience.
Thanks a lot for the Xmas present, and for the game in general.
You’re most welcome and great to see they were put to good use so quickly and enjoyed. Thanks for the update!
Nice TRO. When/If these come in print books, how many ships were you guys thinking of putting in them?
There simply is no details at all we can provide for that question. Far too nebulous at this point whether we’ll produce a series of sourcebooks to support the line.
While the excerpt is a nice addition, there is a problem with it. Backs of the stat cards with the name and pictures of the ships are are in the wrong order. If you print the fronts and backs of each set on one piece of paper, the fronts and backs don’t match. I.E. the fonrt ofthe card is the HML Beagle but the back is the HML Courser. Is it possible to get a corrected pdf?
Huh…that is in fact an error. Thanks for bringing that to our attention. We’ll work to correct that and update with a new PDF.
Just curious, whether or not they are ever published in a player’s manual (ala TechManual) are there hard and set construction rules for the different ships, or is it more of a loose “put it together and test for balance” type of unit design (ala MechWarrior Dark Age)?
Currently it’s the latter…but I’ve been slowly contemplating the former…we’ll see if I embrace my lunacy and head down that rabbit’s hole…
Just a friendly suggestion (which you probably already know), for some of the expansion sets for MWDA, it seemed like the units weren’t playtested very well against units from other expansions, leading units from some sets to be over or under powered, causing a great frustration among the community. Most of that may have been that the points system (their equivalent of BV) seemed to over or under cost units.
Sorry I don’t have any good suggestions on fixing it, since no system seems to make everyone happy.
