Thanks ever so!
I was about to ask why no one ever corrected me when I for YEARS I said Warlords, but I gather a name change happened when I wasn't looking...

I've tried to do the 25mm version outdoors with really ugly, greebled bottles and oblong plates, but I think, assuming I can find my copy of Miniature Wargames again, a recent purchase of Action Fleet Desert Skiffs suggests an American fleet. Ranger didn't HAVE to be a one off.
Also, thanks for the Woking piccies; I had seen images of the tripod, but never the rest of the installation. The sight of the 'ploughed' bricks was worth the price of admission alone!

PS Primed by the blog's title and the mention of claret, my first view of HG in the distance on his plaza had me thinking it was a goblet in his hand. No matter; a glass was raised in salute!
