I've just finished reading the latest Osprey book on the Imperial Russian navy warships of the Russo-Japanese War, which didn't take long being a typical Osprey but was pretty good nonetheless, especially the technical details and the artwork. The pre-dreadnought project has been on the shelf for a couple of years but it's one I'm definitely thinking of kickstarting next year. This is built around a 'what if?' Anglo-Japanese conflict c1900 but has expanded a bit to include some French and German warships as well. I'm now even thinking of getting some 1/2400th scale Russian models from Tumbling Dice to do the conventional Russo-Japanese thing, as I have all of the Japanese ships already. Here we go again!
Thanks for the review of this Osprey. I have the complete Russo-Japanese War fleets from Panzerschiffe in 1:2400 and have done a number of actual and imaginary engagements.
ReplyDeleteHave you read the Osprey Dual #15 "Russian Battleship vs Japanese Battleship: Yellow Sea, 1904-1905" by Robert Forczyk. It is very well-done.

Yes I have and it's really good. The two volume set by Piotr Olender is also excellent. :0)
