Last year I worked on a project on the land campaigns of this epic struggle between Peru and Chile. This year I'm having a go at the Naval battles that were pivotal to the overall outcome. First report over on my blog: link |

Have the ships, also from Tumbling Dice' what rules did you use? Almost looks like Hammerin' Iron with those hexes. Makes me think I need to paint up my Peruvian and Chilean fleets. |

@Prince Alberts Revenge: The rules are based on Ian Drury's "Clash of the Ironclads" which were published in December's copy of WD's Nugget. If you don't know what that is, look here: link Ian uses a hex mat. I don't have one and am too cheap to buy one at the moment, so I made a load of cardboard hexes and used them like in Hammerin' Iron II. I quite like them as they make it slightly more difficult to calculate exactly where your opponent will be. Still working out the kinks tho'. |

Nice game, thanks for posting.
Using "moveable hexes", hadnt thought of that one, I can see where it "might" work for some games. |

@Part time gamer: Can't claim credit for the movable hexes. I nicked the idea from Martin Goddard at RFCM. |
