    Default Photos of Cape St. Vincent with beautifully done Langtons at Little Wars

    I just saw this posted on TMP by an attendee at Little Wars. Scroll through the slide show to see some very well painted and rigged Langton's for The Battle of Cape St. Vincent.

    Thanks Eric! Great photos, all of them. Having rigged a few Langton's I can't imagine going to the extent this modeler did. Awesome workmanship.

    (...but I see no difference between the ships. Sorry.)

    I'm wondering what the story is behind that "L35" airship....

    Thanks for sharing Eric. Those are awesome models.

    Then... Another of my favorites... ECW! I wonder what rules were being used?

    Iron Skies Over Oak Ridge, TN. ASaturday Morning Dust tactics Alt WWII. It's 1950 and the Moon Germans have returned. Local Civil Dense and Moonshiners holding the invaders off until the Marines arrive. I did not play this game but the GM's Mark Feldman and Mike Clarkens did d a great job putting on this game. It was played several times over the weekend.
    Your basic what-if "Space Nazis Invading From The Moon", sounds like. LOL

    But wait, there are Commies From The Sewers, too! LOL

    Great pictures, Eric. Thanks for sharing.

    I admire the modeling skills represented in many of the pictures. Some beautiful pieces there.

    Nazis from above, Commies from below -- I think I saw footage from a '50s X-rated flick on that theme once.... >;)

    Since everything flows downhill, it is inevitable it will end up in the sewer. Some of us are saving the effort. :)

    There are a few photos showing the British ships sailing directly into the wind. I didn't know there were any rules that allowed that. It certainly wasn't possible.

    Are there? I've only seen shots with a few ships close hauled.

    The last photo #36 definately shows a British ship tacking directly into the wind.
