Thank you old chap and I certainly s...Hi Archduke,<br /><br />Thank you old chap and I certainly shared your scepticism about trying this out! Any naval period where the fighting was at close range or, as you pointed out, in a confined space would work well enough. Since I seem to be looking more and more at these types of actions the concept will have a lot of mileage for me. I am thinking about late Colonial gunboats and indeed, the Lake Tanganyika campaign has a certain whimsical charm.<br /><br />Then of course there is the siren call of Madasahatta….<br /><br />Do cardboard cogs float?

I'll have to come up with stats for the various vessels.

It hadn't occurred to me to try this for navel actions but it seems to have worked very well. This has got me to thinking your idea could also be adapted to science fiction battles between star ships as well.Mark Cordonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10976922649472867084noreply@blogger.com
