One of the games played at last month's meeting of the Devon Wargames Group was a recreation of the Battle of Mobile Bay using Dawn of Iron from Scary Biscuits Studios.
With a few adaptations it seems the game produced lots of drama with the Union seemingly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

I visited Fort Morgan and enjoyed watching the target demonstration with actual garrison guns. I was amazed at how accurate they were. The target were one or two bouys tied together |

Heh heh, we did a gunfire exercise when I was in the Navy in 1987/88. The 'targets' were called as trucks, but they looked like pieces of modern art that had been spraypainted yellow. I was supposedly safety observer but hadn't had my glass prescription checked lately and was useless as everything looked blurry.
During another gunfire exercise they flushed a bunch of fire controlmen who had taken to nude sunbathing on top of their equipment room, the highest deck on the ship below the masts. The gun shook the entire ship and the decks were normally cleared for the front half of the ship. |
