I have a copy of "Warships of Salnave's War" by William Warner. Has anyone gamed that and, if so, what scale, models and rules? |

Haven't gamed it yet, but I'm thinking that Thoroughbred's 1/600 scale ships would be perfect. |

Good book! Considering so many of the ships are ex-ACW hulls, absolutely go with the 1/600 models. The only real gap are the 'modern' British gunboats. Keep meaning to do the 'what if' with Ex-CSS/USS Atlanta showing up (instead of sinking). It would likely be a very lop-sided game. Given the small size of the games, the old stand in "Smoke on the Water" should work, but really any of the ACW naval rules would work for this period. |

Whoa, I never heard of it, and according to BGG, there's a Kickstarter for a Eurogame of it. I'm back to new eyes, I guess. Doug |
