Really beautiful models. This looks like an interesting area to game. Thanks for posting.

That sounds great. One of those things I've always fancied gaming but…

Really a great idea. I love the idea of using machine guns in a naval action, and the whole thing had a great feel to it. And yes, the models are indeed lovely!

Lovely models with an even better paint jobs, but what scale are they?

David Manley15 Feb 2013 4:38 a.m. PST

scale is 1/600

This looks like a Really interesting and colourful (in a Heath Robinson kind of way) period to game, one that i new nothing about.
May I ask when/if the rules are going to be available, this is defiantly a period I would love to try?

At 1/600 scale, can you make out Spicer-Simson's skirt?

Nice ships! I didn't know they made these.
Do they have the Konigin Louisa and African Queen?

Dear ben Walton!

While David's home rules are in development, you might want to ask around about "Boilers And Breechloaders" which have been available for almost 10 years and are a still a regular seller at TVAG.

The latest Edition (#4) has the weaponry and other data allowing the same sorts of actions, once you buy or construct your own models.

You can read about them via this link And Breechloaders
