    He has pretty good visibility at the moment, and posting his details here has helped. I see this more akin to the situation with Shapeways 1/144 models and stats from the Aerodrome stats committee helping to keep "Wings alive during the dark days. What would be good would be if he included a 1/1000 option in his Kickstarter for printed models.

    All very good ideas chaps. I hope he also sees some mileage in your suggestions. As for Ares, better to have him onside rather than soo all our money on shipbuilding diverted elsewhere. I am very interested in the idea of doing some more ships of my own.

    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.

    Good point--with the long doldrums between Ares releases, partnering with him where they do a wave their way then he does a wave of DIY but with "officially authorized" logs might also help keep community activity up. Stupid tangent question: Is there any kind of comprehensive record about RN ships' squadron or station assignments (say, everything posted to North American Station 1812-16, for example) akin to the launch-to-sink-or-scrap TROMs of Japanese ships at Combined Fleet?
