Topic: Remember the Maine! Well, not her guns.

Excuse me, but what stats would one use for the main guns of the Maine? The US 10"/35 isn't on the weapons list.

According to Haze Gray & Underway (http://hazegray.org/navhist/battleships/us_pd.htm#maine), the Maine's guns were 10"/30, which are listed in the rulebook.

After a little more research, I do find a reference to a 10"/34 gun, but it's designated as "Mk1 Mod2" of the 10"/30, and was used on the monitor Mianonomoh. The Maine had the 10"/30 Mk2.

If you want to represent the 10"/34, you should be able to use the 10"/30 game data with no problems.

My Conway's book also shows the Maine as having 10"/30. No "Mk" was listed.
