Old Ironsides

With the delay in SoG it is time I finally return my attention to my Pre-dread fleets. Never one to do things half way I jumped back in whole heatedly and placed a huge order with Panzershiffe to round out my 1/2400 USN and Spanish fleets. I already have the complete fleets for RUSSO-Japanese war as well a Span-AM war....now it is time to venture into hypotheticals.
I ordered the rest of the USN Pre-Dreadnought ships along with the Spanish and Germans that would be available in 1906.
My long time plan has been to stage some large scale SPAN-AM battles where the Spanish are not completely outnumbered. In addition I hope to pit my USN vs Japanese in 1905-1906 and USN vs. Germans in a conflict over the Philippines.
New USN ships:

All are already primed and ready for paint, but I doubt any of these will be ready for ROCKCON. Little Wars is not out of the question though.
A friend has been pestering to play with my SPAN-AM stuff since I completed it two years ago, but the historical battles are so lopsided. This should give us some options. ;)
To give you an idea of what the finished product will look like here a few I already completed:
