I hope you are well.<br /><br />I must apologise in advance as all of your coastal sets of rules have completely passed me by over the years as I flirted around the periphery of the period. I shall be rectifying that though....<br /><br />I was a little surprised at the choice of 1:300th for the models but as I do not have anything else for this period and would be starting from scratch it does not make any difference to me. Heroics and Ros have a rather spiffy little range I can use and I am thinking that I am not really going to need very much material for my own purposes. We shall see though in due course...<br /><br />I had heard about the Grey Goose steam gunboats but did not know about the Peter Scott connection.<br /><br />Really good to hear from you again and all the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-64837396707668222592018-11-07T08:15:18.050+00:002018-11-07T08:15:18.050+00:00Hi Jim,

It has some good ideas for scenarios involving Fairmile D boats. He also did a couple books on short MTBs, including one covering the Mediterranean call Mediterranean MTBs at War. <br /><br />Good luck with your project!<br /><br />Dave SDave S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02165409020913057971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-84565628563469257482018-11-06T14:41:45.230+00:002018-11-06T14:41:45.230+00:00Hi Bill,
