You are not kidding, thats a tiny little fleet! It looks great at a distance, gives a true feeling of the massive scale of the naval battles.

Kudos to Commedorerob for sapping all the energy out of the Older Wargamers (like me) and giving it to the youngsters igniting their enthusiasm for Glorious Naval Combat.

I like that last image best, really hits on the scale of the battles themselves and the huge distances they covered.

Looks quite interesting.

I’m just getting into naval wargaming during the first half of the 20th century myself; what rules are you using, and what would you recommend to a new naval wargamer?

Thanks guys, my phone died half way through the day so only just seen the kind comments. Although I have to say I would love to take all the credit, the ships are mine, although not all painted by me…yes I do have stuff I have not painted. The rules were not my design, this was a Naval Wargames Society joint effort. If all comes to pass with a little project I am working on with BoW then you will all be able to play this rule set. As for the ships they are actually 1/3000th scale so much much… Read more »

I was on the lookout for some ships of this sort of scale but drew a blank.

This unfortunately is one of the issues with Naval wargaming… The ships we used were a combination of Skytrex ( davco) and Navwar the range has been around for a long time. Skytrex sold their molds to Heroics and Ros I think, and Navwar is a very strange set up.

However if the plan comes together we will be covering all the suppliers 🙂
