"I'm adding the Peruvian navy to my South American pre-dreadnought project, which primarily consisted of two British-built scout cruisers, the rest of the fleet being totally obsolete. These two cruisers, the Almirante Grau and Colonel Bolognese, were similar to the Sentinel class but with two stacks rather than three, so I have ordered a couple from Tumbling Dice to see if I can convert them…" Jim's Wargames Workbench link Armand

These look much like the Japanese cruisers from Armstrong used in the Russo-Japanese War known as "the Greyhounds."

Shagnasty: and don't forget the armoured cruisers supplied by Armstrong. Known to the Japanese as the 'Elswick Squadron'.
