I just posted up a battle report of a GGG! game I played today: link It was a great game – took us around 3 hours and we used almost 40 ships total – and we both had not played before – I'd say that is damn good! Here are some preview pictures (LOTS more on the blog):
I like using the LED lights for the burning ships … may be hard to see that from the pictures … some of the pictures on the blog show it better … Hope you enjoy! Jay |

Jay Nice ships and Interesting battle. What size table did you use to play that many ships? |

Man, do I ever! 40 Ships.. x an average 15 dollars a hull.. hmmm.. tempting.. but I'd be a while before I could get near your collection! v/r Walt |

Great AAR! I also like your previous blog entry on building and painting these ships. |

@Belisarius – I used a 6 foot by 8 foot table for the game, worked very well. @Walt – Gotta start somewhere ;-) @Big Red – Thanks! :-) |

Jay that is interesting would have thought you would need a bigger table. Can hardly wait for the rules to be avaliable |

Fantastic. Looks great. Your water mat looks great. Did you paint that yourself or is it a printed product? |
| sotek486 | 17 Aug 2015 10:39 a.m. PST |
@Belisarius – Yeah, we had room to spare :-) @Skrapwelder – I ordered that many years ago from a guy that was offering them (artist type) … it is a great mat --- I *think* you may still be able to get them … just don't recall where … but I've seen others around. I can check my bookmarks if you are interested. I don't recall it being all that much money either … |

I'd be interested in learning who made that sea mat, too |

Ok, I'll see if I can find it. |

Great ARR,looks awesome! I'm totally jealous of the fire lights! You have to bring those to the Lepanto game, man!
Cheers

I have to agree w/ comments left on your blog, "Great looking game" and terrific mat. Im dying to know (even though this is not my period of interst) are these ships scratch built, or were/are they wooden kits that you build and paint yourself. They were really well done. Im also curious as to the size / scale of them. Just guessing but the larger seem to 'about 6-7in.' just wild guess there based on the game pics. |

Jay….looks great. Love Thomas's ships & how colourful they paint up. Went looking at those mats….the shipping & mat 6x8' are now in the nose bleed area….:). But great mats |

@ Sotek: great show, thanks for sharing! the LEDs give a superb effect. @ Part time gamer: The ships are laser-cut plywood kits from Skull and Crown, easy to assemble and paint, and pitched to 1:300 scale so could be crewed by 6mm figures. Highly recommended – and no, I don't get a commission. link |
