This is our page on our ongoing alternate Victorian Science Fiction world(s) and campaign from (1888 to 1920). You will also find various other information and inspiration on all things VSF, such as WOTWs, Dino Hunting, Steam Powered Whatever and in general, Victorian era mayhem. My Thanks Don M

I oft times tell Ootah about Englishmens. How they give names to dogs and take off hats to womans, and march into battle, left - right, left -right with rifles on their shoulders.
I remember reading a contemporary German soldier's comments about the real advantage the dirty green/brown uniform was. He went on to comment that "we'll still win". Oh well can't be right about everything I guess...)
I bet they look back at their fathers' redcoat uniforms with envy though!
Reminds me of a British comedian from the 70s describing the reason the American colonies won their independence. It was because the English uniforms were gorgeous "when your dressed like that you don't want fight" he said "You should be dancing"...)

Perhaps the grey/green may have had some slight military advantage in the field, but did it attract the ladies at Balls and functions?
