Back in the 1990s some gamers from Lansing MI did an excellent war-game of the Battle of Shimonoseki Straits. 1863 battle between USS screw sloop Wyoming and some Japanese blocking the straits. The game had a 25mm model of the Wyoming and lots of Japanese ships and land battery.

I saw this game at Historicon but took no pictures. Does anyone have pictures this game or perhaps can direct me to a magazine with article on it. Thanks much. I wanted to show it to my local group as one of the top 10 war-games of all time.
