As part of the work I am doing on my latest book (GRIDDED NAVAL WARGAMES), I have been fighting an action between my newly-built American Civil War ironclads. the action took pace on the little-know Missenhitti River ...
... and resulted in a close-fought, close-range action where neither side escaped undamaged.
I now need to stage a battle between some Pre-dreadnought-era warships. With luck I should manage to do that withing the next week or so.

I like your set up and river name .
ReplyDeleteTradgardmastare,
DeleteThanks! The Missenhitti came to me when I was trying to find a suitable river name.
All the best,
Bob
Nice looking river and very O.S. ships .
ReplyDeleteThe Good Soldier Svjek,
DeleteThe river and river banks are all standard Hexon II items and the ships are - of course - homemade.
All the best,
Bob
Great set up Bob!

Bob,
ReplyDeleteThe ACW Ironclads look excellent on your Hex River- some cotton wool balls to represent 'cannon smoke' may be in order here. Very clear photos. Looking out for your Pre-Dreadnought era battles. Cheers. KEV.
Kev Robertson,
DeleteThanks very much. I was going to use cotton wool balls, but after taking a couple of photographs with them in, they didn't look quite right. I should have used the black and red hamster bedding I've used in the past ... but unfortunately I couldn't find it.
All the best,
Bob
Great looking game Bob - will your book stretch back to Ancient naval battles?
ReplyDeleteMaudlin Jack Tar,
DeleteThe rules are primarily written for the age of steam, iron, and steel ... but one set will certainly be adaptable for galley warfare.
All the best,
Bob
The look of your game is amazing Bob! Love your home brew ironclads and terrain works really well.
