Navwar are the cheapest though.<br /><br />I am looking forward to receiving my order and get he models ready - I can churn out ships pretty easily so can get them on the table in fairly short order.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-4019818904531662502017-10-12T20:42:26.606+01:002017-10-12T20:42:26.606+01:00I'm using the TD models too.

It is a good scale for the period as the models have that little more detail than the 1/3000th kit. I am really keen to get these on the table top so once they arrive the collection is going straight on the paint tray.<br /><br />I have seen the Avalanche Press game and it looks pretty good.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-36372052106491310162017-10-12T06:01:38.642+01:002017-10-12T06:01:38.642+01:00Hi J Jackaman,

The first order of business though is to get the models in fighting trim once they arraive.<br /><br />Good luck with 1900!<br /><br />All the best<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-28631794792091675582017-10-11T23:42:26.069+01:002017-10-11T23:42:26.069+01:00Just when I had swapped my Corbet Russo-Jap book f...Just when I had swapped my Corbet Russo-Jap book for some "modern naval metal" along comes David Manly to entice me back<br /><br />Actually letting go of the original source books was probably a good idea as I kept the Navwar metal (although Tumbling Dice do it in a lovely 1:2400 now) and the Avalanche Press boardgameGeordie an Exiled FoGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002743056274635657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-91544057591729797522017-10-11T21:46:00.891+01:002017-10-11T21:46:00.891+01:00I have similar plans for a British vs Japanese con...I have similar plans for a British vs Japanese conflict c1900 and have been skimming through the rules too.
