Yeah, they have. About eleven years ago, though! The deck plans for the
standard _Lady of Shallott_ class Type Y Yacht were published in FASA's
_Adventure Class Ships, Vol. II_ at 25mm scale back in '82. Like a lot
of the old deck plans they needed a bit of cleaning up, IMHO. I prefer
the plans in Vol. I of the non-standard 400 ton _Desiree Keah_ class
yacht. The whole bow of the ship was a two-deck ballroom with transparent
bulkheads!
For the non-oldtimers, the FASA _Adventure Class_ volumes were boxed sets
with five sheets of deckplans at 25mm scale that could be unfolded and
used for miniatures combat with "Martian Metal Miniatures, Azhanti High
Lightning [the game], Snapshot Rules, [and] Striker Miniature Rules" or
the included counters. They date back to the days when FASA was still
occasionally referring to itself as the "Freedonian Air and Space
Administration". The deck plans were printed on both sides of the sheet,
so you got ten classes of ship with each set.
The two volumes are hard to find -- I stumbled on them in a used book
store that I've *never* seen carry any other games. Good luck finding
something more recent!
