One of the blogs I follow written by fellow T.W.A.T.S. member Andrew the Tekkie raises a few interesting points about the hobby in general anf Naval gaming in particular I have a small collection of ships in both 1/1200 for WW2 and 1/600 for the Russo-Japanese war and a long unused collection of1/600th mostly Thoroughbred ACW ships that I am thinking of selling. Also in the past I have had WW1 and WW2 coastal forces in the latter case Italians and British in the Med but have never really considered myself a Naval Wargamer . Naval is for me a sideline period.

Interesting but not so much as say ECW or Napoleonic. Having said that I still prefer to try to aim for some kind of historical verisimilitude rather than just A.N.Other piece of samey -gamey re-tread tediousness with added dice. So it was with interest that I read this

post on Andrew's blog. Now he has far more Naval knowledge than I so I value his opinion on this .
My conclusion
Shan't bother
Thanks for the review of the review link. Most enlightening and I will be looking elsewhere for rules.
