This is why I keep to a laser focus: AAM(dead), WAS(dead), WGF, WGS, SGN. Not even the forthcoming "small ships" Sails variant or T&T.

I used Litko's various laser-cut markers back in my War at Sea days alongside Gale Force Nine's offerings, and while primarily meant for Victory at Sea I think a lot of their line could be adapted to...
BookDepository has the better price by ten bucks... but Amazon with my usual double-shuffle will get me 40 cents per gallon off my next tank of gas AND a cut to one of my favorite charities. Kinda...
Looks like April of next year going by Barnes & Noble's preorder page. Get ready to crap a brick, list price is $100....
I forget whose Law it was, but there is one about "workload and expenses expand to fill available time and budget." Expect CINC-House to decide that your time is now HER time and consume it with a...
If only Keith hadn't folded... a 3d printer and a "master license" for Henry's and Simon's portfolios to get distro running on this side of the Pond would make logistics immensely easier and coulda...
Thanks, Chris. Fingers X'ed.
Yeah, I'm starting to wonder if I didn't somehow piss somebody off... :( then again, it may just be the world today, even my retired fighter-pilot prof who was like "the father I never had" doesn't...
Official Statement - No rumor, hard Confirmed but no timetable on it.
Personal Observation - I don't know how much Ares will loop me in since I'm "pure historical," though, and will probably be...
Sounds like he's another candidate for a "Career Campaign Book"...
Is it out of line to suggest posthumous awards from both boards in memory of Naharaht's contributions?

Yeah, yeah, 'Taps' is more American than Brit IIRC but it's the symbolism of End of Watch.

Vaya con Dios, David. :(
Nice! To work with Ares those models should be 54mm long on LGD.
Does anyone have a source on no-sails masts, preferably one-piece units, in 1/1000? I have some of Henry's prints with his hulls...
Dubrovnik came out gorgeous, Rob.
Welcome aboard! Long time no see since Wings at Enfilade so long ago...
Probably UNDER-represented in the game. Ask Villeneuve how effective a 68# grape-and-ball combo can be, particularly in a stern-rake at Bad Breath Range...
Ongoing T&P to both of you on Eileen's operation, prep for and recovery from it and the demands that are going to fall on your shoulders in particular helping carry her along the road back.
If you mean Henry's KS, yes--I got the entire pre-1816 class along with all the Canadas. Need to find somewhere to order the rest of the Intrepids and a buncha Nepomucenos, too...
Henry Turner has one in his catalog.
Not knowing exact weights of the ship's batteries, that's just my gut feel on "how would Ares do this?" Assuming there wasn't Munchkin Factor in play *gives baleful stare at Spanish ships and...
Stats, Peng should probably be comparable to a British or French 64. Maybe move the last Gunnery step-down one box left.
Pretty much we've had to use relative comparisons like "better than a 32-gun frigate, worse than a Common 74-gun SOL," which hasn't really left us a lot of room for squeezing in 18pdr frigates, 24pdr...
Good luck with quantifiable hard numbers... first, hard turn rates and speeds were not exactly well documented at the time nor even subject to good measuring equipment for getting those numbers, and...
