One of the blogs that I follow is Foss1066's Skull and Crown. This features all sorts of wargames that use laser-cut wooden figures ... and wooden warships.
The most recent blog entry describes a naval battle fought at the South Bay Game Club. The two sides fielded a range of warships, including an aircraft carrier (and aircraft) apiece.
Judging by the write-up this was a wargame that was enjoyed by young and old alike, and struck me as being akin to the sort of naval wargame that H G Wells might have developed, had he ever got around to doing so.

I agree: an excellent blog with some fascinating ideas.
ReplyDeleteMy kind and size of ships. For aircraft, look up jsmwarplanes: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/jsmwarplanes/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=m194&ssPageName=STRK:MEFSRCHX:SRCH
