Mimi and Toutou Go Forth ... revisited

Many years ago I wrote a simple set of naval gunboat rules so that I could take a game to COW (Conference of Wargamers) about operations on Lake Tanganyika during the Great War. I later published them in GRIDDED NAVAL WARGAMES.

Last weekend, fellow blogger David Crook asked for copies of the damage record cards I had drawn for the game as he wanted to use the rules. As he needed damage record cards for several other ships that took part in these operations, I drew them for him. As a result, I now have a total of six damage record cards and these are shown below:

HMS Mimi

HMS Toutou

HMS Fifi (the captured SMS Kingani)

SMS Kingani

SMS Hedwig von Wissmman

SMS Graf von Goltz

  1. BOB,
    I certainly would like to see examples of your Gunboat models- are they for 15mm figures? All The Best. KEV.

    1. Kev Robertson (Kev),

      My models of Mimi, TOUTOU, and Kingani are all 1:300th-scale. I made these drawings for David Crook for forthcoming battle he is fighting (See http://awargamingodyssey.blogspot.com/2024/08/the-first-of-few.html)

      All the best,

      Bob

  3. Hi Bob. Do you have any thoughts on how many activation cards the new ships should have based on the mechanics of the original game? Cheers Simon
