Developing the Portable Ironclads Wargame….Part 4

H.M.S. Superb, sister ship to the Turkish Messudieh

The pace has picked up a little and so I have been able to complete a couple of outstanding items in respect of the next instalment of The Portable Ironclads Wargame. As mentioned previously, there will be a selection of optional rules that players can use to not as their taste dictates. There are also going to be a couple of alternative systems included - these were trialled during the testing phase of the rules but for one reason or another did not make the published version. 

A selection of Turkish ironclads - I really must get round to the rest of the fleet at some point….

In a slight change of direction I shall be including ironclad actions beyond the American Civil War so hopefully it will appeal to a wider audience. There will be a couple of historical scenarios included as well as something a little different. No details on any of this as yet - mainly because as usual there are some moving parts that need to be aligned - but it will be scratching a particular itch and also acknowledging a personal debt of gratitude.

In the meantime though, some designs need to be designed for our friends at Warbases to work their MDF magic on as I am going back into the ship building business once again.

Can’t wait!
