The four British vessels (as near as I can tell) are all ships laid down between 1868 and about 1880. As such they predate even the rise of battleships series of rules. Although you may be able to extrapolate the stats for ships such as these, you would probably have to come up with some house rules to make them work. As a side note, Cerberus became an Australian vessel when the RAN was created. The two American ships were laid down between 1886 and 1890 and are both listed in the rise of battleships 2 data set in the protected cruiser section of the American ships. Hope this helps somewhat, Eddie

Infexible is the 1908 Invicible class is it not? Or have I missed something?

There was also an 1876 ironclad HMS Inflexible. She was scrapped in 1903. Given the context of the other ships listed and with no photos to confirm type, I assumed the 1876 rather than the other. My limited experience with Houston ships is that the range is primarily predread colonial ships. I could be wrong about that though. Unfortunately, I have no naval expertise with pre 1900 ships and am unable to help with classing or statting any of these. Eddie

The Houston Inflexible is a turret battleship listed as 1881:

Possibly pre-dread or even monitor age stuff.
