Shortage of surface action sims. US Civil War

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure there is a forum for this thread but since Alot of us started out as modelers watching our scale static weapons systems that we spent so much time researching, assembling, kitbashing, decaling and painting do nothing, but gather dust in a place of honor on a horizontal surface or hanging by fishing line from the the ceiling I thought some folks here might have some interest or more knowledge then I here. I can't find a Computer Sim for US Civil War iron clads. I did find a bunch of online rules, and commercial rule books for 1 / 600th pewter waterline models.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I remember doing something similar in aircombat with hex boards. colored cardboard markers, dice, and Gobs of data charts. Any way all this requires is models, dice, flat surface, ruler, protracter, and data charts way simpler then an F-4, F-105, A-6, or MIG-21. I could see this tho. 2 people or groups grab a plate of ships and boats. A hard wood floor with our walls, funiture and household obstacles are the beach and navigational hazards and its on. :ph34r: CL
