An adaptation of 'Shako', which is a Napoleonic set. It included 18th Century rules, but I didn't like them, so adapted my own. We initially used it to quickly do large games for a campaign I was running and it turned into a very good set of rules for doing large historical refights. Shako is specifically designed for big battles with lots of figures and fast gameplay. Oddly enough, I prefer other rules for Napoleonics.What rule set are you using?
Stone the bloody crows!!! I assume that it’s a plastic kit, you’ll need shares in Wicks just to pay for the amount of paint you’ll need!Paid about 250 quid for it and the fixtures and fittings. The hull on its own is 800 quid, so a bargain.

bit of effort required on it though
Someone decided to pump the hydragas to eleven for that pic.

I haven't played it for over 20 years and was due to have a game tonight, but that got binned, so I'm hoping to have a game this side of Christmas and see if it works as well as I remember. There is also now a 2nd edition of Shako.
I think it’s glass fibre - it’s in the shed at the minute. I’ll take some snaps tomorrowStone the bloody crows!!! I assume that it’s a plastic kit, you’ll need shares in Wicks just to pay for the amount of paint you’ll need!
Me and I suspect a few others, would be very interested in seeing the kit as purchased. I’m struggling to imagine where you’d build it, you could always throw the car out of the garage I suppose!
Yeah, I was churning through my Napoleonic mountain during the first half of the year, but hit 'painter's block'. Then I had a game of Shako 2nd Edition with a mate (in between lockdowns), which was the Battle of Medellin 1809, where the Spanish army basically fought very much as an 18th Century army. Somewhat hilariously, as Cuesta I gave the Frogs a comprehensive shoeing...Used 'Shako' which I thought had some pretty good mechanics, but the mob I played Napoleonics with were Empire. I've still not found a set of 7YW rules I'm happy with, so am in the long and laborious process of writing my own (seems a life-long project). Still, you can't beat 7YW for uniforms, which has always been part of the appeal of the period.
What? He's a fan of big heavy things. Stand fast @Scaley Albereto .A solitary figure of @Halftrack morosely poking about the wrecked bins?
No doubt you'd be mentally figuring out the scrap value and how you'll get it home!Oi! I resemble that remark.
very nice, very modern. Why not start a page on it under builds so it doesn't get buried in here, this is such a fast turnaround page it'll be hard to keep up on your progress.I've gone all nautical and ordered a few ships. This morning the HMSQE got delivered to go with the Type 45 and Type 23 to make up the Strike Group.
Ahoy, shipmates!View attachment 524117

That's my intention mate. The QE build won't take long, it's a resin kit with a bit of white metal and PE.very nice, very modern. Why not start a page on it under builds so it doesn't get buried in here, this is such a fast turnaround page it'll be hard to keep up on your progress.
OOoo my timbers have never ben so shivered -looking forward to the build.I've gone all nautical and ordered a few ships. This morning the HMSQE got delivered to go with the Type 45 and Type 23 to make up the Strike Group.
