I played a Dahlgren and Columbiad game today, using my scratch built 1/2400th terrain and ironclads, based on the action between the CSS Arkansas and USS Essex in August 1862: link Great fun! |

I really like the river terrain and noticed your interest in early submarines – are you interested in a book on them as I'm having to down-size my book collection. I used to comment directly on your blog but that doesn't seem to work any more but still enjoying all your posts. |

Thanks, I've had to start filtering the comments on the blog due to the avalanche of spam. The book sounds cool but I have more books than I can possibly justify to the other half! Her plan is to stack them up under my coffin when I kick the bucket! |

The brown river looks very good. I've flown over the Mississippi, I know it's brown, and I tried to paint the bases for my ships brown. Unfortunately, they came out looking like they had run aground on a mud bar. So I gave up and went with blue. Your river looks so good, I may have to rethink this! Grelber |

Thanks. I deliberately made it a dark red brown so I could use it for Vietnam riverine games. |

I tried brown bases as well, but it just looked wrong. |
