I just have the first box set for WWI.
Do any future sets have Zeppelin rules?
I see there are some things in the file section, just wondering if anything in the published rules.
I find them fascinating.

Nothing announced as yet on Zeps as far as I know. Again Andrea or the Col, or Ducalutra may know more.

Two feet long? That would be rather small. in 1/144th scale, a Zeppelin Mini would be closer to 3 to 3-1/2 feet in length.

LZ 38 which was used during the first Zeppelin raid over London in May of 1915, was 163.5M (536 feet) long. In 1/144th scale, that would put a miniature at 37.25 inches in length.

As the war progressed, the later Zeppelins only got longer. During the raid on England on Sept. 23, of 1916, L33 was 649 feet long.

We've had a few previous discussions on Zeppelins. They can be found here:
