Hi John, Yes, the combining of fire points is up to player's discretion. If you want to fire batteries independently and try to score with more, smaller die...
I have printed out and read the Quickfire rules and think I understand everything except the movement rates. I presume from the example that each 5 knots of...
Actually the number of movement increments on the ship log is always eight (that may change for vessels under 500 tons). The current curve used to decide...
Yep, that's exactly it. For ships with 60mm movement I often fill in every other speed box, leaving the other four blank: 60-45-30-15. I know that sounds lazy...
Hi If anyone is interested I have created a photo folder called Daves's Navy and have put some photos of Jims excellent ships that I have finished painting in...
Thanks Tim. I just use some Humbrol flat white paint.It isn't too flash at covering other colours on the first coat. I spread it around in a random fashion and...
Hello I stumbled across a webpage that describes HMS Magnificent in 1902 being painted in 'war paint' which consisted of a black hull and everything else dark...
That's interesting, very similar to the Chinese navy's reported war colors from 1894. I wonder if the Chinese were simply following British practice? If true,...
Guys, I've published a new game on my website. It's a simple game for the Trafalgar scenario and is self contained; everything you need is on line (except dice...
Hi I've just added 4 more photos to the gallery including one of HMS Magnificent the the "war paint" scheme I read about the other day. I'm very keen to see...
Hi Dave Haven't posted here in ages - busy with kids, work, kids, work ... There are some pictures of my boats in the photo section under "Colin T": I did them...
Hi Colin Your ships are what got me experimenting with drybrushing to begin with! I've used a light dry brushing of white on all of mine. Seems to work quite...
Hi Guys, I want to try Admiralty using 1/1200 miniatures (going to use Langton). 1/2400 are great for large battles but having the greater detail of 1/1200...
Hi Alon, In the Photos section there is a directory of some 1/1200 ships that I know have been used for playing Admiralty. If some of the guys in London are...
Greetings All, I am very pleased and proud to announce that "Dawn of the Rising Sun" has won the Origins Award for Best Historical Miniatures Game! I want to...
Hey Jim, I've seen those photos before, what a beautiful Spanish fleet! I think those are Langton miniatures, the ones I'm going to get. I hope I manage to...
I have had to relay the question - because I haven't got any of Rod Langton's 1/1200 Napoleonic ships, a friend has more than enough - hence the delay. Yes, we...
Thanks for your help, David. I decided not to go with his bases because of the additional cost (although they are very nice). How did you and your friend...
Alon Yes, we just doubled all distance factors. Nothing more complicated. My ramblings on the scale used. The distance travelled - and the reloading of the...
I'm a recent addition to the group of fans of your efforts, I'd like to ask a few questions about both the line and the finishing of the line. I've always been...
In a tangentally related issue, I am currently reworking a game on the Spanish American War, Remember The Maine!, and am attempting to fill in some missing...
Hi; Couple of answers here; 1- Arco re-printed a number of the early Janes. Check ABEBooks.com. I have the 1898 but it's in storage. The 1904 has a bit on Port...
