That's a good point Neil. I think you're right about the A7V, and I suspect that the 18pdr should be a 6 instead of a 5. I'll have to check on that. Jim...
I just took a quick look in a booklet I own about Mephisto, A7V 506, and she carried a 57 mm calibre quick-firing gun, made by the British Maxim-Nordenfelt...
The A7V seems to be an unlucky tank. I ran a Villers-Bretonneux scenario using Command Decision's Over The Top rules. The Australian player made lucky rolls,...

Hi Jim, just thought Id post the latest results of our naval escapades. Finally a Spanish and French victory with the Spanish once again doing the Lions share...
All, In response to Lee’s bragging. The game was by far the best yet as we played with 1/1200 scale but using the standard scale (previously we had double...
Wow, sounds like a good battle. I'll have to post some action reports from October that I never got around to letting loose with. ... Are you guys using the...
We were actually using my original Beta set of rules as Sid had forgot to bring his and Pete didnt inform anybody he actually had a set at all so for the most...

I just posted photos of the latest WTJ Naval pre-dreadnoughts along with a few shots of some existing ones. The Spanish players will be curious to see the...
Just in case anybody is wondering Ive just deleted all of the Spanish naval photos that I did as Sids girlfriend took some far better quality photos tonight...
OK everybody the new photos of the Spanish ships that we have done are now onthe site. Any advice, criticisms or comments off of you guys is always welcome. ...
Anyone remember Pocket Pak Biplanes from Entex? Pocket Pak was a series of 1/72 World War 1 fighters that came packed in a thin white box with the instructions...
The only ones I remember are the old Airfix kits. I think they were also in 1/72 scale, although I could be remembering that wrong. I never bought any because...
Yes, Airfix had a nice lineup of 1/72 World War 1 airplane kits. They even went the extra step in including a stand. Handy for placing planes on the game...
At long last I have posted my side-by-side reviews of 15mm French Napoleonic infantry. There are nearly 20 different manufacturers covered and each figure is...
Wow Lee, I really love the rigging on them. Are you sure they aren't 1/300th scale!?!? :D I don't think I would have the patience for doing that at 1/1200...
Hi Jim, thanks for the compliment. The rigging does take forever (about 9 hours for each ship) but happily its the part I enjoy the most and I think the...
That's really great Mark. I don't know about anyone else, but I for one really appreciate seeing all of the related figures next to each other at the same...
Yeah I second what Jim just said. Foir myself Im really looking forward to the Spanish review as I have a large Spanish army although I should apologise for...
Running the risk of ridicule (or perhaps pity) I have to admit to just receiving a small (hah!) order of 2mm (yes two) Napoleonic figures (blocks!) from...
Yes. I'd like to try out the 2mm... Lets see some pictures next to a dime. Cheers, ... From: salamancabill To: wtj_wargames@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday,...
My talent with the paintbrush or camera may not do justice to 2mm in a timely manner so I offer the links below which encouraged me to have a go with 2mm (that...
Hello everyone, After watching Master & Commander how could I resist (I also recommend an old TV series from the early 90's on Captain Cook)? I was just...
Hi, I'd like to put together two small, yet balanced forces of British and French ships-of-the-line for ADMIRALITY. Around 4-6 ships each. Can anyone...

Hi Alon, By pure coincidence a 1/1200 ship is roughly 50mm long and a 1/2400 ship (of the line) is roughly 25mm long. Using the 1/2400 scale ships, a medium...
