Italo-Turkish & First Balkan Naval Wars

[paulr]

Touched up the current batch
I should get the wash done this evening once the touch ups are fully dry

Varnished the last batch, the last of them still drying
Partly cloudy so light a bit low and variable for photography

Painted both sides of the bases for this batch
On to the edges which are a bit more time consuming as I have to work in smaller batches

[paulr]

Ships washed

First batch of base edges done

Brilliant!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Superb. what do the numbers refer to?

[paulr]

The numbers are the Defence factor in General Quarters I/II, for pre-Dreadnoughts 1 per 500 tons displacement

When firing you roll 3 dice; a D10 to see if you straddle and two D6 one for hull and the other for armament damage
You compare the Attack factor to the Defence factor to get a ratio and use that and the D6 result to look up a combat result table to give how much damage is done

The two letter code is the armour class (for pre-Dreadnoughts BB, AC, PC) or ship type for non-armoured ships

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Thanks

[KTravlos]

pretty good work!

Magnetic vinyl glued to last of this batch of bases

Will label the bases tonight and hopefully base the ships tomorrow

[paulr]

Bases labelled

Prepared and washed the ships of the next two batches, more Italians and Austro-Hungarians

Beige, now blue, and I see green in your future (or is it mud) - the vision is murky! 

[paulr]

The green fields of France in 1914 are calling d_Guy

Added masts to the next two batches, only 27 this time

Sorted current ships onto bases
I'm going to have to do this lot of basing in two or maybe three batches to avoid a basing ultra marathon

Undercoated next two batches
