It took a few moments for each side to reach each other's gunnery range.

The British deciding to split its fleet with the Rawalpindi Class Cruiser taking the Cossack Squadron to attack the German Flank.

Heavy fighting on both side broke out with the Germans targeting the British Flagship HMS Prudent. Whilst the British tried to reduce the amount of Fleet the Germans had to use.

Must confess I was a little disappointed but only because of my own error ;D
On opening the thread and glancing at the first thumb I thought you had built a true leviathan of an airship but quickly realised it was the back of a chair ::)

Only pink foam after all and the aid of the hot wire cutter. trees if you can see them are from the bristles of a broom with hedging stuff as foliage i'll atke some proper piccies of them alone this week..

That really would be a mother of an airship... so big that it could hide behind the curvature of the Earth!

"That's not a moon... it's a blimp..."
"It's way to big..."
Everyone pauses as the awful truth sinks in: sooner or later someone is bound to say:
"I've got a baaad feeling about this..."

How does one spell 'curvature'? Peaope keep telling me there's a spell-checker on Firefox but I've never managed to find it ::)

Anyway, nice one with the report Lupus; the battles for Atlantis move to the skies now, excellent! Maybe in coming weeks you'll get to battle over the Lost Continent itself!

Oh indeed that could well be this week as Her Majesties Aeronef Commander has asked the fleet to bomb a resupply depot of the German command.

Post by: HerbyF on February 12, 2010, 01:23:51 PM: I have made some similar looking Islands & mesas for both Pirates & Mars. I use the vacuformed plastic forms from toy packaging & a lot of acrilic paint. I'll post some pictures when I get a chance.

I've got some similar islands I made for Man O' War some years back. It' very tempting to make a few 'nefs to fight over them! :)
