"I have 2 other gaming interests not written about before – Victorian Sci Fi/Steampunk and Pre Dreadnought warfare, and the Dystopian Wars (DW) game and models satisfy this well enough (though the rules are a bit fussy for big actions, I hope the new Fleet Action rules help there). Anyway, I wanted to build a flagship for my fleet, and I just don't like the DW model for their biggest Dreadnought. I have also always had a yen to own a model of the Hoche, or "Grand Hotel", the most absurd battleship ever built. (I do have French in DW of course, but in my view the French "real life" pre-dreadnoughts are stranger than anything DW imagined)…."

Looks like a block of flats (apartments) on a skate board. How ever did she sail in in any sort of way – water coursing across her decks in even a gentle breeze at any speed??! |

How ever did she sail in in any sort of way Poorly, at best. And I say that as a Sailor who served on a ship whose bow wave stood 6 feet tall on top of her bow (a submarine, mind you). Yikes, would not want to sail on Le Grande Hotel! |
