As an aside, your talking of ships and paddle steamers, and all your lovely paint work on the ships for the Jutland project is really making me consider getting into naval gaming...which is something I swore I'd never do.Spiderweb of Historyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02139613680774779747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-66614571843652186522014-11-03T05:58:04.827+00:002014-11-03T05:58:04.827+00:00Hi Paul,

My feeling is that a few models would suffice and in my case, use of the block armies for the land side - at least until my project plan decrees otherwise....;-)<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-39380112896697082472014-11-02T22:42:43.416+00:002014-11-02T22:42:43.416+00:00There was also quite a range of actions carried ou...There was also quite a range of actions carried out by Naval Landing parties, such as this stirling chap:<br /><br />http://tasmancave.blogspot.com/2008/01/vice-admiral-sir-nathan-hewett.htmlPaul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-10245553753415066122014-11-02T20:57:18.381+00:002014-11-02T20:57:18.381+00:00David
