Links Below are some pertinent links. Hallmark
Miniatures – These folks are purveyors of 1/6000 scale ship miniatures.
It was with these models in mind that I designed my miniatures rules.
At this scale, a cruiser 600 feet long appears on the gaming surface as a
1.2 inch miniature. I heartily
recommend these miniatures for a number of reasons: ·
The ships are amazingly detailed, given the scale. ·
The small size of the ships permits gaming in a relatively
restricted space. ·
Most all ships are available for World War II, World War I
and the Russo-Japanese War. These
folks have even cast hypothetical ships and ships of smaller navies (such as
Spain and the Netherlands). They
are now producing ships of modern navies. ·
The price is right. ·
Hallmark’s customer service is excellent.
I’ve never had a miscue ordering from them, they take credit cards, and
they deliver promptly. Langton
Miniatures – This is another miniatures manufacturer, with a focus
on naval warfare from about 1750 to about 1870.
Langton’s miniatures are works of art.
(Unfortunately, I am no artist and so I have not attempted these.)
The computer assisted rules advertised on the site are quite good for
actions between small numbers of ships. The
Miniatures Page – This is the source for information on miniatures
and miniatures rules on the Internet. Web-Grognards
– This is another encyclopedic site, but with a focus on wargames generally
rather than on miniatures. David
Manley's Home Page – Here is a well done page by another naval
wargaming enthusiast. |
