Lovely work Vol. Nice touch by leaving two of the escort carriers with the US Navy blue decks. Where did you get the aircraft from? Did you also print them? Well done on a find victory at Lake Trasimene as well. That looked like a very close and exciting game.
Hi Lawrence, and thanks. Apparently the British retained the US blue for several of the Bogue class escort carriers that were given and loaned out during the war. Eventually they were all repainted. Yes, the planes are printed as well. And yes, that was a very close game. The points were neck and neck through all six turns. Super fun game!

The rate at which you turn out fleets is mind boggling. Having seen some of these ships up close, your craftsmanship is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon. And I thoroughly enjoyed your write-up of our game. Thank you for doing that.
ReplyDeleteSplendid looking flat tops, no fleet carriers? Well done with your Roman command!

Thanks Iain, on both counts.
DeleteAren't the Ark Royal and the Illustrious classes fleet carriers?
Sorry Vol, I meant light fleet carriers, just my dad served on one, HMS Venerable in the Pacific in ww2!

Oh, I'll have to look for HMS Venerable then. I don't recall seeing that .stl file when I was shopping Wargaming3D
DeleteGreat looking carriers Vol. Pretty cool. 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew
