1/600 Scale Ironclads 1870 to Pre-Dreadnought

[Panos1975]

Hi guys i need help about the Tsusima  Naval battle period (1905) , Rules and what do you think about 1/600 old glory ships

The ships

That's very impressive ! The ships themselves would be, but the terrain really takes this to another level.

Those ships are gorgeous. And so help me, I'd love to buy a whole fleet of them.

But how do they work as gaming models unless you have access to a huge table?

I ordered one of those ships a while ago, and it is 8 1/2" long. Say I do a "Battle of the Yellow Sea" with this range – four Japanese battleships lined up stem-to-stern, that's a formation almost three feet long. With spacing you'd be looking at almost six feet.

I've got a decent sized house with room for gaming, but once you add in cruisers and torpedo boats there's no way a game could fit on a table. I suppose I could do a game on the floor, Naval War College style, but that's a hassle and I don't know if my wife would want me to lay down blue carpet…
