So my suggestion is just buy around 9 ships of varying sizes for each side, paint them the scheme you want, and then just play a few games of WF and see how you like them. If you don't, just move on to another set of rules! Generally, ships are not based to very specific standards and you won;t have to rebase anyway.captain arjunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08242730277113727477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35742908.post-65332458612611598672012-02-20T22:40:27.703+08:002012-02-20T22:40:27.703+08:00Hi Captain,

I've also read "Sea Battles in Miniature" by Paul Hague and it has got some good stuff in it. It looks like 1/300 is hard to find ancients, 1/1200 might have a little more variety. I was hoping to find some resource for paper ships, but junior general only has Napoleonics. My main problem with the fantasy naval stuff out there right now is that they have these crazy fluff specific navies that I'm not interested in.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35742908.post-30999395430327448892012-02-19T20:46:36.955+08:002012-02-19T20:46:36.955+08:00I think I owned Waring Fleets once upon a time - r...I think I owned Waring Fleets once upon a time - rather generic rules, which I didn't like.<br /><br />I've actually bought and abandoned fantasy naval models twice, for lack of satisfactory models and rules, really.<br /><br />What type of ships and period do you have in mind?captain arjunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08242730277113727477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35742908.post-21518440213025963852012-02-19T20:28:27.140+08:002012-02-19T20:28:27.140+08:00Very interesting.

So I need to start looking into ship models, I had thought of going paper with something like Roman Seas.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.com
