Minotaur Class Ironclads for Broadside and Ram


I realised this morning that I didn't have any numbers for the three Minotaur Class broadside ironclads, HMS Minotaur, HMS Agincourt and HMS Northumblerland, despite the fact that I'd actually deployed one of them in a game before. So, here are the relevant numbers, with a reduced AF due to the poor operability of the 7'' MLR main armament in anything other than calm conditions.

Minotaur Class Broadside Ironclad
Type (AS)      CS (4)        MS (5)          AF (4)         DF (6)

I could have bumped up the DF a bit to reflect the improved armour compared with HMS Achilles, on which the design was based, but I think that it's high enough as it is. I also thought about modifying the turn radius by limiting it to less than 45 degrees, as they were notorious for being difficult to turn due to their extreme length?
