    There is a volume on the Dutch Navy but only in the 1600s, ditto the Russians but it's not quite up to Winfield caliber. Personally, my "dream team" for an American volume would be to see Winfield team up with Silverstone and Millar.


    Sadly, even if it somehow turned out that the old molds had been quenched using the blood of children I doubt any force on Earth or in Heaven could get Ares to revisit and revise the deficiencies of our badly undersize Armada... so while I'll continue buying whatever they release, I'll use the official releases as references to paint, base and card 3d-printed replacements as possible.

    Which reminds me, I still need to write up Backdating BHR... extending the mizzenmast by the height of the quarterdeck is gonna suck, as is correcting those dead-wrong lateen-rigged Tonnants.

    Having re-enacted the 17th cent. for 30 years you would think that I would be interested in that period navy DB, but somehow it just does not do it for me.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
