All the battleships serving in the Athenian and Spartan Navies were built in the shipyards of Corinth to almost identical designs. They were coastal defence battleships and were armed as follows:
- Main armament: 2 x single-mounted 11.8inch/30cm rifled breech-loading guns in fore and aft turrets.
- Secondary armament: 4 x single-mounted 5.9-inch/15cm quick-firing guns, with two in casemate on each side.
- Torpedoes: 4 x 17.7-inch/45cm submerged torpedo tubes, with one mounted in the bow, one mounted in the stern, and one mounted on each beam.

Looking very good so far, Bob. As the designs are fairly similar anyway, I'll be using using the same armament conventions on my own vessels.

DeleteCheers! It made sense to give the similar ship designs to have similar armament. If and when I add some more designs, I’ll amend the rules accordingly … if they need it.
All the best,
Bob
Bob - we had the same idea! I bought some Monopoly battleships after you published s series of posts a couple of years ago about some ships you had built - then I got distracted by something else and never finished painting them. However, this has prompted me to do so!
ReplyDeleteIan Dury,
DeleteThey are very easy to paint and get onto the tabletop ... and I look forward to seeing yours in the near future.
All the best,
Bob
