I love it. WWI cruisers do not get enough love. Good looking ships and write up! |

Really nice models (and with masts at that scale?! Well done!) – can I ask where they are from? |

Thanks both. Cruisers are the Cinderellas of the period but exciting to play with. The models are from a range which I m likely to release over the next year or so through Ark Royal Miniatures/Warfare Miniatures. |

Eek! I am so excited! Are you going to do the whole navies, or just cruisers etc.? I always thought 1/4800 was the ideal scale; the options up until now have been fairly limited, so over the years I have amassed fleets in 1/3000 which have little realistic chance of being used and may end up in the bin if 1/4800 takes off. |

I am hoping to persuade the designer to finish off the range which is already started as you can see. There are about 40-50 ships already designed mostly cruisers and destroyers. I will post a pic of Queen Elizabeth Class |

Lovely! Looking forward to this. |

Interesting game concept as cruisers, particularly the light ones, were normally attached to the battle fleets and got little chance for independent action. I have all the ships at Jutland except some Cls and DDs. It is awkward to play except on a large room floor and the old back and knees can't handle that any longer. Best wishes for the success of your new line. |

Thanks, way to go before we're ready to release but it is a fairly massive project. I'll get some more games in with the MJ12 rules which are quite fun. |
