I have fought many actions though - especially in the pre dreadnought era using both a DBA derived set and going back in time - The Devil at the Helm - using a rather large French Navy. WW2 General Quarters 2 games have also featured.<br /><br />Is this perchance a cunning ploy to make me change my mind?<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-90383323441200338642012-04-02T08:20:15.051+01:002012-04-02T08:20:15.051+01:00Hi Paul,

I have had some truly epic games with 1/3000th models over the years but for my own purposes I want to use larger models.<br /><br />More to follow and a packet of tissues is in the post....;-)<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-65862379220589811152012-03-31T09:25:16.211+01:002012-03-31T09:25:16.211+01:00Hi Geordie,
