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 didnīt 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...
... the ... for ... 5.0 ... on ... rules to ... Thanks Jim. I'll go with 5.0. I've trawled the old messages to look at base sizes; I'm (still) based for GdB...
Hi Jim, Could you offer a view on my current 1813 Prussians basing? I think, with an adjustment in Assault and Incidental Ranges, that they could work: ...
Hi Roger, The best option might be to use the 20mm scale noted in the Equipment>Gaming Scales table, along with the corresponding ratio modifier of 1.33. Since...
Hi Rodger, I'll have to double-check the jagers, I think if they were part of a larger regiment sized formation, they would end up giving that unit a decent...
I plan on posting this discussion on several of the Yahoo groups. A few years back I bought some 6mm ground figures on eBay that had a gloss finish. I was...
For what it may be worth, most figures I have painted are in a gloss coat, as it seems to bring out the colors more effectively. The strongest example are...
I gloss the metal surfaces, hull, etc, and put matt on the wooden decks. It creates, I think, quite a nice and realistic mix. ... From: stephenstrawn2000...
Hi Jim, It is getting on Christmas time now and I have yet to see the new releases on the WTJ website. Will they be available in time to have a few sent to...
Funny you should ask, the same day you posted your question was the same day the shipment arrived, I've been spending the time since updating the database,...
I just posted a new release of WTJ Naval predreadnoughts, which includes the following: Benbow Renown Dreadnought (ironclad) Inflexible Vulcan Polyphemus ...
Damn you Jim and your ohsotempting offers...... ;-) ... _________________________________________________________________ Time for change? Find your ideal job...
Thinking about starting with this navy. What colours were there for the various ship classes? Complete newby to naval wargaming btw, so do you mix ships or...
Hi Erwin, The Austrian fleet in peacetime used a similar scheme as other navies: black hull with white upperworks and black masts. For wartime they used "sea...
Ack! I am sorry but this is definitely wrong. The sea green was the Austrian standard PEACETIME color scheme from 1900 to 1913. This is from Erwin Sieche,...
The period covered by the WTJ Naval miniatures is roughly 1885 to 1905, so I typically describe things in those general terms. There are plenty of photos...
Glad I could help Doug!! :) About 80% of the initial sale list is still "on sale," which I guess will probably last another week or two at the current rate...
After some searching I did indeed find Sieche's excellent website on the A-H navy: http://homepages.fh-giessen.de/~hg6339/data/ah/info_ah- navy.htm They have...
I found this page on the net: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Agora/8088/warindex.html It has a lot of info about battles fought in the predreadnaught era. In ...
Hi. I'm new to the rules and to this site. I am thinking of using the 6mm scale bases but with 2mm blocks. Any comments on this. Also is there a way to...
