OK, time to unveil I suppose.

My blog about my IHMN gaming is here http://ihmn-east-africa.blogspot.co.uk/

I will have another battle report to post in the next day or so, this time with photos.

I still haven't got my AAR sorted out, so here is a teaser for what might come in the future.

Now all I have to do is work out the rules for it  :o

Nice.  :-*

I've used the same Copplestone figures for my RN company and, like yourself, was planning to include a surgeon. I can't see that anyone will have an issue with that so I think I'll use the Artificer stats with the Medic talent instead of Engineer (both are 5 points). Obviously he won't get access any of the Tiff upgrades.

A few RN slang terms you may like to make use of: Artificer = Tiff, Medic = Scablifter, Midshipman = Middy or Snotty, Diver = Bubblehead. Officers are often known by their rank insignia so a lieutenant is called a 2-Ringer.  :D

Thanks. The original stats for this company lean heavily on a classic BBC radio comedy. Sub Lt Phillips, CPO Pertwee, Leading Seaman Goldstien et al. I posted it here at the time, but I intend to re-write the list using the SDRS stats.  :D
