Thanks for the link. It is an interesting site and I will be using some of the pics.

The Conway's are stuffed with good info but, the deck plans from the Jane's are priceless for getting an idea of where all those cannons are.

I am considering placing a deck plan on each of my Data Cards for players to mark off which gun placements are lost… Then again, I like to pipe dream a lot <G>.

(PS… meant to say a Jane's WWI not WWII…)

On one of the groups / forums I read, there is a fellow who is scratch building 1/3000 Pre-Dreads. They look really good.

I finally decided to go with 1/3000th scale for now.  If I move into WWI or WWII then, I will most likely change over to 1/6000th.

Soulmage and his Mrs. has set the bar pretty high for me, don't expect any pics anytime soon <g>.

A friend suggested that I double base the ships; first on a standard rectangular base then temporally base that to a hex base. (that was enough bases for a home run <g>) The idea being you can easily read your firing arcs and maintain squadron cohesion. Something I will have to think about. Seems to me, a protractor and a rule would do the same thing and still allow a free-form movement.
