Nice minis. Also nice spash markers also. Very nice paint job on ships. The one brit ship saumera looks like it is ready to sink with the blue paint or justvtrying to blend into the base with all the blue. Not many people on here run the 1/3000 stuff, there are a few posters on here that do that scale. Anyway, welcome to the bords.

Thank you.
I was a bit heavy handed with the putty at her stern end, and did not notice until it was too late!
Had some of these ships since an impulse buy at a bring'n'buy in the early 2000s, but never found a rule set that would allow a game in an evening until now, very impressed.

Next plan is either Italians or Early War Japanese.

Nice stuff, I like the wake action you've done, I've always been to afraid to try that, either not getting it to look right or ending up with a putty/spackle-covered ship.

Well done and welcome to the rules. What is your game area made from?

[madlemmey]

Thanks all.
The mat is from Deep Cut Studios, wipe clean printed material (there is even a whale hidden on it). Belongs to a mate and costs c£40.
