Galleys & Galleons. Martian Flyer manufacturers & stats.

I'm building up a collection, and I have several times considered converting Aeronef to the Ganesha family. Don't get me wrong, I love the rules except – you have to write orders and ships move top quality first. Fortunately the lovely and talented Nicholas Wright has done the work in his Galleys and Galleons plus Fayre Winds & Foul Tides. Not a direct copy but it has the makings. 

 And look! A builder! http://www.ganeshagames.net/army_builders/GalleysGalleonsBuilder.html 

Here are the manufacturers and my first attempt at working out the values of their various products. I've played with several of these in previous articles using both Flying Lead & Of Armies And Hordes. I'm considering using these regardless of other rules used for mixed games. I would like to remind you that the clever Steve Blease came up with the solution of tabletop for underwater, ships on CD's mounted on (plastic) pint glasses. Flying vessels on flight mounts on same.

Peter Pig. I'd recommend their small Martian range, plus the ACW has good crew, guns, etc. 

Small flyer. 1 or 2 man vessel. Could be a ships boat. Scout Points 20 Quality 2+ Combat 0 Special Rules Aerobatics, Eagle-eyed, Ornithopter, Relay, Steam Engine, Unarmed, Yare Fighter Points 80 Quality 2+ Combat 3 Special Rules Aerobatics, Carronades, Ornithopter, Steam Engine, Trained Gun Crews, Yare 

You could add magician as the passenger. Toying with one Hero pilot who would leap onto an enemy vessel-. 

Larger Flyer. I use this one as a European vessel. Could be a ships or other boat. I think its too small for bombs. Carronade – seems a good match for machine guns
