    Why wish for just new masts when I can whish for a whole new vessel that can give me four vessels instead of two?

    Another complication is... well, I've been looking into the whalers taken by USS Essex and in the 200- to 300-ton weight class they come in just too small for Ares to sculpt with the hard 28-meter minimum deck-length. (A very large and historically significant class looks like it JUST misses by HALF a meter... which is half a millimeter in manufacturing terms.)

    What's half a mm between friends. They have fudged more than that on some models already, so why not the Whalers. For the authenti button counters there is always a dremel to hand!

    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.
