Coming soon to Wargames Vault - the cover will change as I shall have the models ready fairly soon.
Absolutely chuffed with the above - mainly due to wanting to ‘Hex’ the rules for some time - and that Mr Manley has trusted me to make it happen!
The models for the above are progressing nicely and I should be at the sealing prior to undercoating stage tomorrow. Painting and final assembly should then follow and so the plan is to run a game using the rules over the weekend - naturally this will feature on the blog.
For the record I am already thinking ahead to other gunboat style operations especially some Madasahatta style operations. This would be a personal homage to Eric Knowles given that my very first naval command was in Madasahatta and consisted of a pair of German gunboats!
The circle, as they say, is now complete…. :-)

Congratulations David, well done, you should deserve to feel chuffed.
Well played! I look forward to reading it.
Sounds great. What size of table do you need in terms of number of hexes?
Well done that man! I might be forced to get myself a copy, in readiness for the outbreak of the Second Blacklands War...
Cheers,

Well done David, looks like an interesting book. Paul.
Hi Donnie,
Thank you kindly old chap! It was just a bit of fun that took on a life of its own but I have really enjoyed the process!
All the best,

Hi Simon,
My table is 5ft by 3ft and I use 4” hexes (across the flat sides) The cloth I use is 13 x 9 hexes which is fine for the size of action likely to be fought. I use the same cloth for my ACW naval games and have managed six models a side with little difficulty.
Hope that helps!
All the best,
DC
Hi Archduke,
Thank you most kindly sir! All being well they should be available next month.
All the best,

Hi PDL,
The parent rules (the tabletop non-gridded version) include the full campaign system (which is excellent) but this is merely a hex based adaptation. I hope to run a game using the rules in the next week or so which will feature on the blog.
All the best,
DC
Congratulations! I'm looking forward to reading it!
Hi Mark,
So am I!
All the best,

G’Day Paul,
