You were asked – TMP link What naval wars or campaigns would you like to see that haven't been well served (if at all) in wargaming up to now? In the final round of voting: 22% said "War of 1812 on the Great Lakes"
18% said "US vs Barbary Pirates 1801-1805"
16% [TIE] said "World War I in the Adriatic" OR "Coastal forces/PT boat campaign for New Guinea" |

Sounds like a lot of people would enjoy playing the 1812 scenarios/ campaign from Flying Colors: Serpents of the Seas. Available wherever GMT Games are sold. |

Missed this poll. I would have voted for AWI North America if it includes the Caribbean actions. One of the few times you could get a balances Age of Sail campaign. |

Not sure I understand this result – all of these are well served with models in 1/1200 or 1/1250. |

Right on, dantheman!!! Very much agree – Lots of pretty well balanced battle scenarios in the Caribbean. One of my favorites is Grenada 1779 – de Guichen versus Byron. I'd also add the Suffren/Hughes Coromandel campaign as a good source for balanced scenarios.
