That's the hobby room I've always dreamed of, Willz. All it needs is the bookshelves, figure cabinet and a window for the paint booth extraction fan.
What is it? A school gym?

You and me both Spanner, I see the photos worked.
It is the Swordfish suite at the RNAS museum, available to rent for the weekend 60 feet x 90 feet apx.

Excellent looking game, Willz. I take it your Poms, Yarkies and hangers-on said "Sod this for a game of soldiers!" and headed back to their cruise ship?
Did the game throw up any funnies that play-testing missed?

Thanks to all for your support and kind comments.
Yes Graham and me noticed that the British needed 3 bomb ketch shots with no minuses to hit, to help them in their attack.
Also maybe a couple of corhern mortars for the landing barges again a lob over the head shot with no minuses.

The British lost as I did not follow my plan for the grenadiers to attack and capture the fort to support the naval landing party.
I made the classic wargamers error of wanting to shoot and fight, so my grenadiers attacked the Pardo militia in
a fortified position at lost gloriously
