This weekend the local HMGS-South group played a War of Spanish Succession game at the Dogs of War shop. Black Powder rules and 6mm Baccus figures were used. Unfortunately the duty photographer got so involved running the game that he forgot to take photos. Those below were taken during cleanup.
1/6000 scale WWI Russian Baltic Fleet ships by Figurehead miniatures.
1/6000 scale WWI US armored and scout cruisers by Figurehead miniatures. Chester, Pennsylvania/Pittsburgh and Tennessee/Memphis classes.
This weekend the local HMGS-South group played a non-historical Pacific naval battle using the General Quarters 3rd Edition rules. Not many players turned up, but we took the opportunity to learn a new set of rules and discuss naval topics. In the absence of miniatures, ship counters were borrowed from a board game.
Two IJN DDs were sunk and several ships on each side were damaged. Due to time constraints we did not play to a conclusion. GQ3 seems to be a quick game system suitable for club games as long as you can keep the naval buffs from arguing about the abstractions. Good luck with that.
Several 3D printed 1/6000 scale Amagi class battlecruiser models purchased from Shapeways have been completed. Compared to metal 1/6000 scale models the surfaces are rough, but the dimensions are more accurate. I don’t think the roughness will be noticeable on a wargame table. The Shapeways models lack the ships boats molded on the Hallmark/Figurehead castings.
