This morning more #NavalWargaming with @madpadre.bsky.social
This time in the Solomons
IJN and USN destroyers thrashing each other with torpedoes

Playing WW2 #navalwargaming with @jamesmanto.bsky.social and Janes is teaching me the Snorkers Good-Oh rules. It’s all going poorly for the Kriegsmarine.

And comparing the upscaled prints.

Working on some #SnorkersGoodOh Tokens designed by @makkeru.bsky.social and printed by @madpadre.bsky.social
Need to go over "Full Ahead" arrows with some white once blue dries
But I think they look quite brilliant. The High relief makes them pretty easy to paint.

Some #1/3000th MiGs take to the air! This week I consider some recently completed aircraft for my Cold War naval project. Whether flying for Libya or the Soviet Union they will I am sure add another dimension to our games.
