I'm now 52 almost and I have always loved the romance of age of sail wargaming. I don't get to do it with few around who are interested... as in one... me...
I hail from Livermore California. But I'm on a tear right now with the luxury of internet access (dont have that at home either) eating up as much information as I can... currently trying to learn about the Russian Green fleet (interesting colour to paint a ship)... and how many real "Class" ships are out there... I have yet to play SoG, but hopefully will be able to score a copy of it soon...

Greetings Christian. Welcome aboard the Anchorage. :salute:

Don't be surprised if you see some comments from other board members popping up concerning the color "Green" and the fleets of Russia. :wink:

Just out of curiosity, why is the Russian taste for green such a fascination here?

It's an ongoing discussion/debate as to the authenticity of green vs. black or black vs. green on Russian ships. I've steered clear. :thumbsup:

Welcome!

I think the Russians had a bad black paint that turned green. Almost all black is tinted in a color and will pale towards that color. That would make them very dark green. That's my theory at least.
