Copenhagen: Men & Machines

[Diamondback]

[WORK IN PROGRESS]

Records on Danish ship design are incomplete or not readily accessible, so this table is going to start as largely boilerplate. Like the Dutch, Danes have never been mentioned to me by Ares as a priority, but if we can boil the Must Haves of the Danish fleet at Copenhagen into a handful of sculpts each it just might be possible, assuming the management will exists, to slipstream them into future waves a sculpt or two at a time. Trafalgar will probably almost always be driving the bus, though, with Nile and 1812 frigate-duels also in the "priority" tier, so if they come it probably won't be fast until we have those three groups mostly petered out.
