Hi all, I am just about to get myself some ships to try the Shipwreck rules out. For the time being I have made some counters to print out and stick on bases for the aircraft and missiles. I'm looking at getting some Davco 1/3000 modern ships (I've got some of their WW2 ships and really like them) but was wondering what scale aircraft do people go for if they're using models? I know Shipwreck is all about a representation of individual units on the table and scale is very abstract, but I want something that doesn't look to out of place. Thanks Daniel |

I use 1:1200 or 1:1250 aircraft with 1:3000 ships. |

Same as Armatys. 1:1200/1250. CAP Aero and 617 Sqn. |

I use 1/600 made by Tumbling Dice, although a much larger scale the effect still work as it gives the effect of perspective with high flying aircraft. Rory rorycrabb.wordpress.com |

Navwar makes some 1/3000 aircraft cast on bases. |

I use Figurehead 1/6000 ships and Cap Aero 1/1250 aircraft. I get a nice feel for size and distance. Terry link |

I use 1/2400 from GHQ and CnC for ships and 1/600 or 1/700 aircraft. |
