Two of the final pieces required for the battle report to be found in Developing the Portable Ironclads Wargame: The American Civil War. No prizes for guessing what the Jenga blocks are for. A bonus point if anyone can tell me what needs to be done to the Confederate ironclad - super detailing it or replacing it with a commercially available model as an answer will earn you instant disqualification!
Thanks to a mahoosive amount of work by the Editor-in-Chief, Developing the Portable Ironclads Wargame: The American Civil War, is now really close to being ready for publication! I have some pictures to organise and the battle contained therein needs to be fought and written up but once that has done it is off for proofreading. There will then be some tidying up to take care of and then bingo! “Thar she blows!”
As mentioned previously, this has taken me a lot longer than I originally envisaged to produce and if I am completely honest, it will be with some degree of relief that it gets ‘out there’, so to speak.
For the battle that will feature in the book I have to slightly modify one of the Confederate ships being used and I will also have to complete an item of terrain that will feature. I should also mention that any resemblance to the battle and anything remotely historical will be purely coincidental….
In the words of ‘Ol Blue Eyes….”and now, the end is near….”
I'm looking forward to getting my hands on them.

Does it need a pot for making gumbo? I think the battle reports are always worth reading. ACW naval battles are quite easy to reproduce and fun to play. Looking forward to seeing the changes in the rules.
ReplyDeleteHi Jim,
DeleteMercifully there are not many significant changes in the rules. The biggest single one is the change in a couple of firing arcs - these are now more generous than before. There are a couple of pieces of fine tuning of elements of the text - mainly as the language used was probably not the clearest!
Not sure about a pot for the gumbo though!
All the best,

I give up then. What needs to be done to the ironclad?
ReplyDeleteHi Jim,
DeleteVery simple - the CSS Atlanta was also equipped with a spar torpedo so I need to add one!
All the best,
DC
Of course. I should have spotted that!
ReplyDeleteHi Jim,
DeleteIt is currently a WIP but should not take long. The ‘other item’ though is a different story!
All the best,
