Wooden ships and iron men*

*white metal actually, but who’s counting?
Since they now have crew figures and flags I can consider my brace of Funny Little Wars gunboats complete.  Given that they now have a naval brigade to support it is to be hoped that they will see some action this summer.

    A mere brace, come now Commodore this is a fleet!

    Now I want to build a Gunboat...

    Excellent repetition.

    Tim Gow,

    Very nice. Are you about to become the Vickers Armstrong of your generation? More importantly, can they fight or are they all fluff and no substance?

    All the best,

    Bob

    I have to agree with Paul here,in war games terms it's at the very least a flotilla. But why quibble, very nicely done Tim!

    I think I'm a bit too far inland to set up a major shipyard!

    OK - its a flotilla. I'd better promote the Captain to a Commodore!

    It is white, it is a fleet (according to Paul), but the jury is out on the extent of it's greatness!
