    Ok, i found it here .... i guess

    Follow the link above.
    Go to Goodies
    Click on the Pteranodon card
    Click on the english transaltion

    Straight link doesn't work, the page doesn't have its own link, it is probably JavaScripted.

    This is definitely worth a closer look and maybe even further development, just like their Nigh rules were. I can imagine a Ptero Maneuver deck with turns > 90°. I can imagine a big flock of them moving randomly.

    Just remove the "Boom" card and replace with a "Chomp."

    My retranslation of the original rules:

    Please note: The author is Pierre, from the Etrons Volant site. He has a few interesting scenarios, one of which I presented here: Jingle Bells, Machine Gun Shells - Or - Red Sleigh Down

    Le Ptéranodon

    The mad scientists used their dark science. The WWI pilots soon saw some strange animals coming from a far past. Genetic manipulation? Temporal accident? Here is photographical evidence. Pteranodon are coming.
    Survivers of an old era, they fight for honor and glory.

    Structure: 6 (all special damages do nothing, except explosion = death)

    Movement: M (if you don't have, then C)

    Attack: The Ptero cannot fire. He doesn't have weapons. But he can try to collide with planes. The Ptero declares at the start of the phase he wants to collide. Then, the targeted plane executes his move, then the Ptero executes his move. If the Ptero had the plane in front of him before he moves (in the firing cone, even if not represented on the Ptero card), AND, if at the end of the movement, the Ptero card overlap the plane, then he may suceed in grasping the plane.

    Ptero, then, doesn't suffer damage. The plane suffers one B damage card, but if the damage is equal to or greater than 3, then, the Ptero stays engaged with the plane, and he will be able to tear it to pieces. Put the card of the Ptero on the plane, or a "Ptero token" if you have one.

    If the Ptero is engaged, the plane takes a B damage card each turn until :

    - the Ptero dies

    - The plane is destroyed

    - the plane tries to shake off the Ptero.

    General Rules

    a. A plane can try to shoot the Ptero even if he is engaged with another plane. Damage is drawn once, but divided between the two engaged targets. Special damages are only for plane. The remainder points go to the Ptero. (Example : 5 damage with fire special damage: the plane takes 2 damage and fire, the Ptero takes 3 damage).

    b. If the plane is destroyed, take a B damage for the Ptero. He takes the damages. If it was explosion, the Ptero, in fact, stays engaged with the plane and crashes with it.

    c. The plane can try to shake off an engaged Ptero. Try to make an immelmann. Then, after the immelmann, during the straight line, take a A damage card. If it is explosion or engine problem, then, the Ptero is shaken off.

    They would fly at 30km/h.
    Wingspan roughly like Fokker Dr.I.
    Table speed roughly 2cm.

    Tim just replace your Gothas in your Origins game for these and see what happens


    I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
    Coming down is the hardest thing
