Somewhere there is a joke about Brexit.

If only it were Nanwar. 

Just played out a game inspired by the Battle of the River Plate.

Photos were taken

I'll upload them later and post an AAR.

It proved to be a fun little game though the dice definitely favoured one side. Was tempted to fudge die rolls a couple of times but resisted and I'm glad I did.

That is how I see the House of Commons

My 'decisive' attacks usually culminate in this, but at 20paces!

In my experience the short answer yes, the only other way is to phone him during shop hours (Saturday afternoon IIRC), a bit tricky & costly from the Antipodes

The good news is that fax is so rare that the odds of the info going astray is pretty remote

Quote from: steve_holmes_11 on 13 March 2023, 10:53:11 PMSome while back, but I painted the bulk of WW2's capital ships in under a week.

The 1/6000 are a great example of smaller minis requiring far less work.
My suggested order of painting used to be posted on the Hallmark website.

From memory.
   Main colour all over the ships.
   Pick out wooden decks where appropriate (Many navies had adopted a linoleum substitute
       or stripped the wood as a fire risk by WW2).
   Apply a wash that picks out turrets and other upper works detail.

   Ocean colour on the textured sea bases.
   Wash slightly darker.
   Drybrush slightly lighter.

   Glue the ships onto the bases.
   Very light white drybrush of bow and stern waves.

   Paint tab at back of base a national colour, and ink on a three letter/digit identifier.

Thanks for that, very useful tips for painting.  However, I have been fighting off the lure of 1/6000 with my IBS game for years.  I already have so many painting jobs in hand I think I can avoid the temptation ... for now.  Any photos to go with your fleets and AARs for 1/6000 ships?  Are they very visible at any distance other than close?

I'm afraid I don't have photographs.

I was really impressed by the sharp detail.
This allows a wash to really pick up the details.

I tend to do ship recognition by silhouette, and have no problem distinguishing battleships and cruisers at that scale.
I would most certainly struggle if a battle involved a mix of destroyer classes.

Yes, They have an order form that is designed to be printed off, but I just kncoked up a letter giving code, description, price total etc saved it as a pdf and used "PDF24 Fax" to send it (allows 5 free fax's a month for free and doesn't rquire you to have a fax machine).

Glad that Nanwar sparked a bit of debate

That could be a dangerous piece of information in itself now the local place were I used to fax from has finally got rid of their dedicated fax machine!
