You'...Thanks for all your comments and insights. You've all offered some solid resources I'll have to explore in the future. I'll admit I'm quite happy with the Gridded Naval Wargames rules; even with my "Critical Damage Table" they're just the right level for introducing kids and newcomers to historical wargaming...one of my principle areas of interest these days.<br /><br />Hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy in these trying times.

...Hello, I wish you every success I your project. <br />I did the RJW in 1:240 as well using Panzerschiffe resins ships which are cheaper than metal and easier to modify and drill to attach wire masts, if desired. For rules I use 'Damn Battleships Again' which is freely available online and a campaign system by David Manley as appeared in both Miniature Wargames and Wargames Illustrated. I found having a campaign generated some interesting mismatch fights and also gave a strong reason for keeping your fleet in being so no fighting to the last vessel.<br />Good luck!Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333965379660280891.post-39826821718189226862020-03-31T19:05:35.346-04:002020-03-31T19:05:35.346-04:00Hello I have some of the 1/600 scale ships that O...Hello I have some of the 1/600 scale ships that Old Glory produced for this period languishing in a box in the garage. That rule changes etc did you make to reflect the period. I have a gridded table tennis table bases to play on. Best wishes in these trying times.

They have a campaign and a set of easy pre-dreadnought naval rules (no grid needed). <br />The Viking Forge ships are good for this period. You might take a look at the 3D printed ships from War Times Journal (http://www.wtj.com/store/) They come in different scales to suit your needs.
