    Beautiful work!! They look almost too good to play with, however I doubt you put that kind of effort into them just to sit and look at them!!

    Oh, Man, those are beauties! I must confess my goal is to recreate some sea battles fought between Polish and Swedish ships in the XVII century, but need stats of that time ships. Are yours the types of SGN era? Do you know the possible stats of XVII century ships?

    Rory, the ships look great (as always)! Have they been in battle yet, or is that for a session coming soon? Hope you post some AAR pictures and commentary if/when that happens.

    As always, beautiful work, Rory. Inspiring.

    I'm looking forward to the release of GMT's Blue Cross, White Ensign, but I would much rather play with your ships, my Friend.

    Not sure if this will help, Andrzej, but here is a book that might be of interest:

    https://openlibrary.org/works/OL7354...pier_i_koncerz

    If you know of any titles that could be of use, let me know. I have access to many university libraries, and could do a bit of research for you.

    Vol, told me about this e-book "Naval Battles of the Baltic" . I have looked thought it. It starts in the 16th century so may cover the Polish/Swedish bit. I cannot say if it is in this book,but the chance is good. Good luck in your search. My ships are from the 1790's to 1807.

    Late to your post Rory as I don't frequent this site much anymore. You know I love your ships and they look great. I am also glad you posted your photos on TMP using the url addresses here, like Jim did before the hack. I will talk to you more in our usual fashion.

    Regards,
    Vol
