Clash of the Ironclads

Clash of the Ironclads, High in the sky a war is waged. Ironclad Airships fire their cannons making the clouds glow as exploding vessels rain down. Through the chaos two ships lock into a death march opening fire until only one remains in this 15 Phased Battlemap.

“In the ancient prophecies it predicted that the skies would rain fire. I guess we just didn't predict that it would be US in the skies doing the burning.” - Ida Holly.

There was no time to delay. Above the chaotic aerial battle the Admiral's Flagship hung observing from above. The captain spotted him and knew what must be done, Full thrust, full lift. Out of the chaos the Ironclad burst up like an angry whale from a sea of flames. It came around and launched alongside the Flagship. The two captains looked at each other through from their sight decks staring as the cannonports opened.

And hangers and hatches above released a swarm of the crewmen and aeronaughts from each ship who hurried out to board the other. There was no escape this time, Captain Finch would have his revenge or he would crash back to the earth trying.

This map may be the best I’ve ever made, at the very least it’s my favorite. Airships and dieselpunk are both something of special interest of mine and it was such a fun challenge to try and make an all out war scene for a clash of two fleets of airships! I’m thrilled with how it turned out!
