Duel of the Ironclads - Hampton Roads

USS Minnesota (top), USS Monitor (centre) and the CSS Virginia (bottom) prepare to do battle once again.

This evening I shall be running a Portable Ironclads Wargame based on the second day of the action at Hampton Roads. It is a small scenario consisting the Union frigate the USS Minnesota (aground for the duration of the action but able to fire) supported by the USS Monitor against the CSS Virginia. Mr Fox will be commanding the Confederate ship whilst Mr Huband will once again command the Union. 

Victory conditions are quite simple. The Confederates must sink the Minnesota and retire from the action whilst the Union must sink the Rebel ship - at any cost.

Very much looking forward to overseeing this and my thanks once again to Messrs Fox and Huband for taking part.
