The Particular Service Squadron 1885

I was looking for something else a few days ago when I came across this fascinating late Victorian naval exercise, which was focussed on a potential war with Russia in the Baltic. I've included a couple of extracts from The Late Victorian Navy by Roger Parkinson, as it gives a better explanation and overview than I could. A really interesting story and there's some excellent contemporary illustrations from The Graphic for inspiration. It would make a great naval wargaming 'What If?' and almost all of the various ships including HMS Polyphemus are available from Tumbling Dice in 1/2400th scale too.
