5 The Destrier-class Light Air Cruiser was designed to dominate its the French opponent, the Libertéclass. However, the appearance of the Faucon-class put the pressure on the Royal Sky Navy to respond. The HML Charger is that response. Experience with the initial Destriers has been fed backintegrated into the design process. Modified oil-fired boilers and turbines eked out useful performance gains without increasing weight, and standardization of the The Agile is the lead vessel of a second run of Faucon-class Light Air Cruisers, these coming from Schneider et Cie s graving docks in Brest. The company seems to have concentrated its efforts on designing and constructing cruiser-class ganymedes, to complement their production of cannon and aerial torpedoes. The original Faucon-class ganys were criticized on a number of levels. While performing their offensive ions admirably, there was agreement that greater maneuverability was HML charger broadside has led to improved fire control. Most significantly, however, the Charger is fitted with Frenchstyle empennage, bringing its turning circle back into line with that of earlier comparable British leviathans. Sky Commander Sir Edward Seaborne Clouston has been given command of the HML Charger, and, with a picked crew, are is working up for deployment as part of the Channel squadrons, where they are expected to demonstrate their mettle in short order. aigle required for most effective deployment of its weaponry. In ition, a number of failures had demonstrated the vulnerability of the high-powered triple expansion boilers powering the vessels. The Agile accordingly is fitted with new oil-fired turbines based on those used in the Grenouille-class. Replacement of the coal bunkers has provided room for a modern ering compartment. Empennage is also provided, enabling the ship to handle like a much lighter vessel. Destrier-class Light cruiser Dimensions: 301 ft. x 69 ft. x 60 ft.

Until the rising of the third HML Leviathan in 1906, the Defender s familiar beak, four stacks, and the brass tubing of its Swann stabilizer could be sketched accurately by any schoolboy. With its massive primary and secondary armament, for the Defenderclass remains equivealaent to the aerial battleships of lesser powers. HML Evesham was repaired following action in The Conquérant-class of protected Protected Air Cruisers were designed with empire in mind; unlike many previous designs, this class featured deep bunkers, efficient water recycling systems, and a mind towards crew comfort. The Philip II Augustus, third of its class, is nicknamed Dieudonne (Godgiven) both for the historical king after which it s named and for the attitude of its commander, Commandant aérien Marius Moutet. Dieudonne has been flagship HML evesham Afghanistan in 1907, and now carries itional 3-in guns at the expense of some armour. Combined with replacement of its boilers and refurbishment of its electrical plant, has given the ship an itional seven knots of airspeed. The Evesham is due to commence its return journey to its regular Indian station outside Bombay once a new captain is appointed its previous commander, Sky Captain Terrence Lancsman, having been promoted to command the Leviathan-class HML Medusa.

In the last year Moutet has twice been ordered to hand over command so as to take up a training command, but has managed to refuse both orders through his political connections. His fondness for Tunisia and his Algerian-born French wife inevitably earned him the tag pied-noir. Making this into a matter of pride, Moutet promptly ordered that black boots replace brown in the dress uniform of his squadron.

6 This section includes two ready-to-play scenarios for the ships found in this PDF, as well as those found in the Lieutenant s Manual and James Fighting Leviathans: Excerpt From The 19 Edition. ADDITIONAL RULES The following itional rules are in effect for both scenarios. Note these are abbreviated rules and do not contain all the rules as presented in the Commander s Manual. Except where specifically noted, all rules for the Lieutenant s Manual (LM) apply. CHANGING FACING The following rules are in ition to all the standard rules for changing facing: Two-Hexside Turn: If a ship does not spend any MPs to enter a new hex during a turn (provided it has at least 1 undamaged Engine Slot), it can always spend its entire movement to change 1 or 2 hexsides; it can never change more than 2 hexsides in this fashion. STEERING GEAR All ships are considered to mount minimal that does not take up Slots and that provides the minimum amount of facing change capability as described above. Steering Gear Slots allow for an itional movement option, described below. Reduced Hexes Entered Before Turn For every Steering Gear Slot in a Location, reduce by 1 the Enter Hexes Before Turn value on that Ship Card for that side (Starboard SCENARIOS Location or Port Location; for Type 4 ships, use the Aft-Starboard or Aft-port Location). For example, the HML Essex has an Enter Hexes Before Turn value of 2, which means it normally must enter 2 hexes before turning right (starboard) or left (port). However, it mounts Steering Gear in each side Location (starboard and port), and so it need only enter 1 hex straight ahead in order to turn in either direction. If in a following turn the Steering Gear Slot in the Starboard Location is destroyed, then the HML Essex need only enter 1 hex before turning left (port), but must enter its standard 2 hexes before turning right (starboard). If a ship s Enter Hexes Before Turn value is reduced to 0 because of, then the ship need not enter any hexes before turning in the appropriate direction. Regardless of, however, a ship can never change facing more than 1 hexside in the same hex (see Changing Facing above for the exception). Turrets If a weapon Slot shows a white nail icon (shown at right), it is mounted on a turret. Weapons mounted in turrets can be turned to fire into arcs outside the standard arc where the weapon Slot is located, as shown on the Type 1 and Type 2 Firing Arcs Diagram (see p., LM). Turrets do not change 8mm 6/ HEX the hex where a weapon is located; for example a 8mm Gun Battery with a turret in a Bow hex of a Type 2 Ship is still mounted in the first hex for the purposes of counting range. When making a Breach Roll, the player announces which arc the turret is facing; all turrets start every turn automatically facing the standard arc where they re mounted.
