Whilst I was on my recent cruise, I began thinking about whether I could produce a naval wargame that would fit in a small box. This was inspired by the recent 'wargame in a matchbox' challenge ... and especially American Civil War naval wargame devised by Peter of the Grid Based Wargaming – but not always blog.
Rather than just copy what Peter had done, I wanted to create a naval wargame that used ironclads or pre-dreadnoughts. The homemade Greek and Turkish fleets that I made for my version of Jane's Naval War Game are in storage and were not immediately available so I looked around for another source of suitable models ... and remembered that years ago I'd considered building a scaled-up version of the Monopoly battleship token for my wargame navy. (The end result didn’t turn out to be that similar to the original, but it did feature in a number of battles.) A quick search of the Internet showed that these tokens are available to buy online ... so I bought twelve!
Once these arrive, I hope to play-test some rules that I have been drafting. When I have, I'll write a post on this blog.
