Hi y'all,
I know zeppelin are an over used trope in AH so thanks for your patience on this one.
A big issue in post-1870 colonisation was controlling the territory, hence the massive efforts to build railways.
It's either because of vast distance (Africa) or because the terrain is jungle and mountain (SEA)
Zeppelins, even crude ones could be a game changer, for communication or resupplying units in deep territory.
What are your thoughts on this? Could we see them incorporated in colonisation efforts and how? Or would they be deemed too expensive?
