I am sure I did a post on the Black Sea Russians and at the time the only model needing a substitute was the Leitenant Pushchin TBDs. Ican tell you what I used later.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-56481851217880728862010-11-26T18:14:21.998+00:002010-11-26T18:14:21.998+00:00Thanks David, yes, I think it was in your Turks vs...Thanks David, yes, I think it was in your Turks vs Greeks posts, you mentioned the Pek-I-Sevket and the Durandel clas, but it was more those pesky Russians that I was finding confusing - also most accounts mention a number of minelayers - but it is hard to track down what to use for these - I had the N7708 Almaz in mind for one of them at least....SteelonSandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231931971295669901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-42298829731949477772010-11-26T17:25:06.991+00:002010-11-26T17:25:06.991+00:00Hi SoS,

I will check back through some of my early naval posts as I am sure I listed the Navwar codes and equivalents. I certainly did for the Balkan Wars fleets. I will look this evening and let you know - its a little tricky on a blackberry!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-47633415439425647802010-11-26T17:07:07.144+00:002010-11-26T17:07:07.144+00:00Hi David, have been really enjoying the build-up t...Hi David, have been really enjoying the build-up to this battle, with your excellent literary scene-setting - can't wait to see more.<br /><br />This is a conflict I have wondered about dipping my toe into, as it involves a necessarily limited number of ships - looking through things, it can be complicated to see which Navwar 1/3000th codes fit with which historical ships, Torgud Reis = Worth etc, but I was definitely stumped when it came to the available TBDs and torpedo boats - any insight into what to use for what would be appreciated!SteelonSandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231931971295669901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-38334324847603162772010-11-26T05:51:25.569+00:002010-11-26T05:51:25.569+00:00Hi Geordie,
