Hey everyone!

Is there a ruleset that works well for representing a couple of modern ships per side in engagements like PI vrs China over some islands or a couple of Chinese destroyers vrs a few American destroyers, including their helio assets and maybe land based air support?

Ideally I would like to play in 1/4800 or 1/6000 scale.

Thanks.

Shipwreck would work well for this

I have been looking for these rules. Who publishes them?

Yea, I agree, SW would be good.

Surface Battlegroup would also work, it is available from Wargame Vault.

Shipwreck is published by Vandering. There is a Shipwreck yahoo group. I am not sure if the rules are currently available in print.

Surface Battlegroup has a couple of supplements that cover these combatants and types of conflict.

In 1:6000 Shapeways or scratchbuilding are probably what will be needed for Chinese vessels. 1:6000 destroyers are tiny!
