If I were designing a case for you guys with U-channel sections to slot bases into, would brass U-channel in a wooden case be acceptable or do I need All Wood All The Time for period feel?
    No problem with Brass bound cases as I see it DB, although Admiralty Brass would be preferable.

    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.

    I'm even toying with the idea of brass-painted styrene in the interests of affordability... the securing method I'm thinking of would be a section of U-channel each on port and starboard sides (one each at case rear and on door), and a short section each at bow and stern on the side away from the door. Dusting off the old design study I did and trying to both catch up with COTS materials and economize for production... :)
