Adversaries was GDW's series of additional detailed game components (miniatures really) for the many titles under the Space:1889 Banner.

				Martian Cloudships (GDW 1801)A set of miniature plastic Martian cloudships. The box contains several additional sprues of the Martian Cloudships, identical to the single sprue contained in Sky Galleons of Mars. The true genius here was including kit bashing instructions so that avid players could convert these stock miniatures into other cloudships detailed in yet other Space: 1889 (Original edition) products.

Expands: Sky Galleons of Mars and Ironclads and Ether Flyers

				Aerial Gunboats (GDW 1802)A similar set of plastic British aerial gunboats. In this case, additional sprues of the British Gunboats from Sky Galleons of Mars with kit bashing instructions to create other gunboats detailed in Space: 1889 (Original edition).

Each adventurer strives to be the first to fight his way through to the heart of the kraag and discover the sinister Worm Priests.
