Naval board
« on: December 22, 2012, 08:48:40 AM »
I mentioned this on a pre-dreadnought thread earlier but I thought it might be worth putting a note here.

Would it be conceivable to have a separate naval board in the same vein as the railway board?

I saw your other post.
While I'm by no means a naval gamer, I do puddle about with the odd armoured cruiser. If the railway boards have been getting posts and hits, then the naval board would surely have too.

But see what others say.....

I keep cogetating about doing dreadnought era battles, well the battle at Port Arthur in the RJW anyway, and such a board as you propose would be the ideal place for me to tap into the forum font of knowledge as to my options so I say yeah.

Only if there is a corresponding 'navel gazer board' for the introspective and for lurkers.

Not sure, Jim, actually I'm thinking about closing Railway board as it's not really active. I don't have the feeling we have lots of Naval gamers.

Perhaps opening up the Railway board to air and sea actions also?

Necro-threading, but will there ever be a naval board?  I've started pushing little ships around and want to tell others about it! Or do I have some setting wrong and I'm just not seeing it?

Hello All:  Brand new participant and coming over from another forum. So far I like the feel of things very much here!

While this thread is quite old, I wondered also about no naval stuff and thought I would post here. I am primarily a horse and musket guy - Naps, ACW, AWI.  I do have a collection of 1/3000 Victorian steam era and pre dreadnought ships I might like to talk about at some point and discuss with like-minded souls. Naval gazing jokes aside, does anyone else share this interest? RB

I'd be interested in a Naval board.  I'm just started in to get into the genre.  Finished up my first ship, a paper model of the original Enterprise as she served on Lake Champlain, yesterday.

Certainly the new Black Seas release is creating an interest in things Naval, above and beyond that already out there. Maybe a new board is in order ?
