The discovery of a number of (still bagged) 1/1200 scale Navwar ancient galleys recently reminded me that already had some painted examples. These were bought already painted and as it turns out are the rather expensive (£2.50 a boat) Langton models. Not bad to say that I bought the lot (20 painted and 20 part-painted) for £15 about 10 years ago!
Last Wednesday I decided to give them an outing and dug out a copy of a
DBA variant which John and I had tried as recently as 1999... Our rosy memories of the rules didn't correspond with the game we had last week, so I need to find another simple ancient period naval game. Anyway dear reader, here is some eye candy to keep you amused.

| Inept manoeuvring led to a head-on clash between the two fleets (me on the left and John on the right). |
 |
| My dice rolling was, even by the low standards I normally meet, particularly awful! |
 |
| My line (with the full sails) is eaten away by Johns (furled sails). |

| John (for it is his finger) points to his victorious (or plain lucky?) admiral. |

West 1871
They are rather nice (so not painted by me then....) and were acquired for my second favourite price - cheap!
