I have Sri Lanka and Tamil naval forces painted up. Also have a mixture of missile boats and frigates for Egypt and Libya (Osas, Nanuchkas, German vessels, etc.). Those aren't all painted and none based. All are for David Manley's "Bulldogs Away" rules.

Mako1119 Oct 2015 9:17 p.m. PST

Mainly, US, UK, and Soviet, for the larger vessels, escorts, and subs.

Have some US, UK, Soviet, East German, West German, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Israeli, Egyptian, and Syrian missile boats, MTBs, and other fast attack craft and targets for them.

I started in this hobby collecting modern naval for Harpoon- Soviets and Americans, and modern (ultra modern at the time- it was 1984) Soviet and West German miniatures (my buddy bought the Americans).

Since then, I've pretty much dropped out of modern naval. I don't know why, really. Would love to get back in- especially with ultra modern stuff- Russian, Chinese, American, British, French, German, Japanese, South Korean but am too busy with other stuff. Someday I will return, probably.

Mako1120 Oct 2015 11:17 a.m. PST

Don't overlook the fun you can have with the 1950s and 1960s era vessels too.

WWII era S-Boats vs. Soviet Rigas, and other destroyers, etc..

Dynaman878920 Oct 2015 3:12 p.m. PST

I have USA and USSR and plan on getting others if I ever paint the first two…

Bozkashi Jones20 Oct 2015 4:07 p.m. PST

At the moment US and Iran c.1987/88 for Operation Earnest Will. Turks/Greeks, Pakistan/India, RN/Argentina are all on the agenda.

What rules do you guys use?

David Manley20 Oct 2015 9:31 p.m. PST

Bulldogs Away for small scale actions (and my own home brew set for the Cod War). For more "traditional" naval actions I vary between the old Dodo/Skytrex "Rules for Modern Naval Combat" (probably my favourite), Harpoon, Shipwreck or my Modern General Quarters variant which I developed or a Naval Wargames Society Falklands mini campaign.

Striker20 Oct 2015 9:38 p.m. PST

I have some USA and a few Soviets around.

David in Coffs20 Oct 2015 10:20 p.m. PST

US, War-Pac, RN, China, Japan with plans to do some conversions. 1/600 or 1/700, Modern Naval Battles

Bunkermeister Supporting Member of TMP20 Oct 2015 10:34 p.m. PST

US, USSR and Royal navies, all in 1/2400 scale.

Currently US, Soviet/Russian, UK & Chinese all in 1/2400 scale. Mix of GHQ, CinC, and Shapeways.

cwlinsj26 Oct 2015 8:41 p.m. PST

I keep meaning to stock up on some 1/700 FACs for some coastal action between North & South Korea and China vs Taiwan… how well does the Shipwreck rules work?

shipsandstuff28 Oct 2015 12:42 p.m. PST

China, Japan, Russian, UK & US all in 1/2400 scale by GHQ, CinC, Viking Forge and Shapeways.

Who actually makes norwegian or swedish ships, some of those "stealth" high speed frigates look funky.

sjolly H431 Oct 2015 10:31 a.m. PST

The Swedish Visby is made by Objects May Appear on Shapeways.
The Norwegian Frigate Fridtjof Nansen is made by Dutch Fleets on Shapeways.

I believe those are the only producers of 1/2400 scale ships that you are looking for. I would suspect that others make them in larger scales.

My first foray into miniature gaming was modern using Harpoon I was so dissatisfied with that set of rules I sold every thing and now am thinking of getting back in to modern around the Falklands war, using Surface Battlegroup. I have moved on to WWII naval and some land gaming.

Tgunner01 Nov 2015 8:13 p.m. PST

US, Russian, and China when I get around to it. 2400 scale.

DaleWill Supporting Member of TMP02 Nov 2015 5:16 p.m. PST

Singapore and Burma near future. All 1/6000 shapeways and CAP aero for planes. Need to start US, China, Japan soon.
