Hmmm, that just doesn't have the ring that "Smoke on the Water" does (which would be an excellent title for a pre-1900 set of naval game rules)….but, I digress! I got a coat of paint on my new 28mm Ironclads. Take a look here if you wish. link Now I need names……… |

For the British, you could borrow some place and person names from this documentary: YouTube link Then when one of the onlookers, spying the HMS Cholmondeley, 'Watch out for the Chomolea, Chomdela, Komdel…' You then fire a broadside and announce, 'Well done, Chumly!' ;->= Naturally, the downside is having to paint Cholmondeley… Doug |

I'm rather fond of "Gloire" for the French ship. How about "Cormoran" or "Gazelle" for the German/Prussian ship? |
