I recall a time when some of us had read the "Tarnsman of Gor" series and Dave introduced Tarns (like Tolkin's Rocs) as mounts for us. After awhile we stopped using them. I am sure we did some aerial combat at the time. I don't really remember details about that anymore. I think that it was in 1972.

Count me in as another who would love to see these rules. (And I also remember reading Tarnsman of Gor and thinking that we needed Tarn races, Tarn fighting, and so on.)

The movement rules sound to me like the Trireme game we used to play sometimes. I don't recall when it was introduced, but I recall playing it in 1973 with Bob Meyer and the Sniders and several other players. It was fun. You could even ram friendly ships with the written orders and multiple commanders on each team.

Somebody else had published a version of Trireme that was available in the early 1970's. I don't recall when. I'll check in my attic and see if I still have my copy, because mine was not the AH version.
