Wow, the Connecticuts have a higher heavy rating than the Nelsons! So it appears I went about things in the completely opposite- and wrong- direction. I was...
I'd like to know how many Republique players ever use the Attack command? As I've been reviewing the command text and begun outlining options for attacking...
Hi Jim! As far as I can remember I don't think that we have used the Attack order even once. Normally you attack terrain features which is handled by the Move...
Jim, I use the ATTACK order regularly and I'll explain. I view MOVE as an order issued when enemy contact is not anticipated. If the division is stopped short...
Hi Jon, Thanks for the info. In the rules, a division under Move orders does not revert to Defend if it comes within contact range of an enemy. Is this your...
Hi Rick, The only thing I ever considered using the Attack order for was pursuit, which it does lend itself to. I think currently the items I have slated for...
Jim, Approximatley when is the next release of new ships due and I happened to notice that some ships that I had previosly ordered for you such as the Uss...
I have a restock order in with the foundry for Oregon and most of the other ships on the Out of Stock list (posted at Game Shop 1 under Ordering Details)....
Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the wtj_wargames group: What types of ships would you like to see added to the WTJ Naval line of 1/3000...

I want to make a plug for later ships. WHats available for WW1 is really poor when compared to our WTJ ships. I would love to see a WW1 range of such quality. ...
I voted for the older ironclads and the dutch and scandinavian navy. The ironclads because most of them were still in use during the period covered by wtj...
I too voted for the older vessels, I just love those turret ships and broadside ironclads. I also voted for the later pre-dreads, so I guess I went with both ...
Just going to build Russian 1st Pacific Squadron for RJW and so looking for ships to complete it. WTJ ships are excellent but the following are missed: ...
The Rossia and Aurora are only out of stock right now (they are usually available) and I have a restock order in with the foundry right now. Unfortuantely the...
Hi there Jim, just a thought, but if you were to do earlier period pre-dreads, (more sort of ironclads - 1860's - 1880's) would you consider changing scale? ...
I would advise against such a thing. To m, the main appeal of the old ironclads would be to use the ones which were still afloat during the predreadnaught...
I would second the vote to stay with 1/3000 scale. I understand Doug´s point on size (and as I get older those ships are harder and harder to see!), but I too...
I agree with both points regarding scale. So: what about two? Would a 1/3000 and, say, a 1/1200 be feasible? Two scales ideal for two different jobs. Just a...
If you want 1/1200 Ironclads North Head Miniatures already make them ... From: Richard Wimpenny <richard_wimpenny@...> Subject: Re: [wtj_wargames] Re:...
I can see both points of view, and i have 1/3000 German and French fleets that could co-exist with earlier ships, but i just can't imagine trying to rig (very...
Well, i own a Navwar Arcona with full sails (they were made as metal pieces). Although a bit out of scale (as most Navwar items), it looks great. So if Navwar...
I have posted a photo in the WTJ Naval folder of the Photos section, showing the masters for the next release of predreadnoughts. The final list of ships for...
Hi Jim, great looking ships! It is a nice selection, especially with the smaller navies. But I think that I am looking forward most to Polyphemus and the new...
One good detail to keep in mind is that Polyphemus was originally designed to engage ships which had very light secondary armaments. Any capital ships built...
I checked the armor ratings for Rossia in Quickfire and they still checked out okay. So I got out the old reference books and went over the original values in...
I didn´t know about the floating bridge, nice idea. Kind of makes you wonder if the designer really had faith in his creation though. As for her use in gaming...
Hi Roger, Currently the new assault table is being tested, it is similar to the old one except it has a wider variety of results. Once the results for that...
