Before I get too many comments, the cotton balls are markers, not smoke simulators… Cotton 'smoke' gets tangled in the rigging. Been down that road. |

Yep, little cotton pompoms are the way to go for that kind of thing for exactly the reason you say: Wise man. I use them as reload markers in Piquet games. I went so far as to make 'solid' smoke screens for WW2 gaming for the self same reasons. They make people laugh, but I don't spend any time pulling strands of cotton off bases, figures, and terrain any more

Great looking fleets! I had no idea you guys in Wayne had so much going on. |

@dBerczerk: That for me? Pro or Con has a game every Wednesday and we run two single-day cons a year in the Metro Detroit area. One in the spring, one in the fall. This year the fall con is on Nov. 15th. |

If American football can have pompoms. Why can't you? Joking aside I like the ships and the markers.

beautiful looking game, I have had the opportunity of playing FOTAW a few times and have always thoroughly enjoyed the games, plus the game author is a class-act too. Reminds me I need to pull those rules out and get back to painting my fleets… |

I've told Rob this, but I really didn't think I'd like a card-driven system. Being an old Wooden Ships & Iron Men guy, I was into plotting moves and heavy detail on ship control, damage, etc. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this game. Enough to buy and run it, obviously. |

Hi Jeff…love the ships! What did you use for the game board? Yes, I do love those rules. I'm going to bring my ships and rules to Fall In for a pickup game with some friends. Hope to see you there! Oh, I had to change my screen name to something similar to what I had…losing too many contacts with the first change! Leaving Waterloo Minis for you!

Hey Rob! The game board is a mat I bought from CorSec Engineering. Not cheap, but worth it. |
