As many of you know, when I was writing Castles in the Sky there was a strict word count for the book. However, I wrote so much content that I had to go back and remove some of it from the book. Even with my edits, the final book is still larger than any of the other Osprey Wargaming Series books! Instead of the normal 64 pages, it is 80 pages of content!
To make the rules fit to the new expanded size, I still had to cut out some rules and other details that I wanted to keep in. The biggest space eater, was the ship templates. Therefore, I had to remove a lot of ships. Therefore, each fleet was left with only 1 Battleship, a cruiser of two, and 1 or two escorts. All nationalities lost at least a single ship to make space. I want to make these ships available to the community here on the blog!

That will round out the initial fleet lists that I had initially built for the game. However, there has been a big demand in ship creation rules, and I have been working on that update as well. More to come as that develops.
There are still a few more rules that did not make the final cut of the book, so expect at least one more post with details on Ground Defenses upcoming.
To sign off, I want to provide access to a couple last resources that maybe useful to you in your games:
Quick Reference Sheet

Ship Templates
Record Sheets
The Tokens, Templates, and Sheets were made by Robert Kurcina from the Delta Vector Google Group. Thanks to his help, Castles in the Sky was made possible in the first place!
These resources should help you out with your games as you go forward. Good hunting! Let me know if you have any questions.
