US North Atlantic Squadron Assembled



I finished preparing the 1/2400th scale Tumbling Dice models for the North Atlantic Squadron c1870 over the weekend, with the last ship being the USS Worcester, adding a fourth unarmoured screw cruiser to the line up. I have couple of monitors that I could include but I think this is more than enough for a potential clash with the Royal Navy, assuming I can devise some sort of excuse. I will start painting these over the next couple of weeks in between the 1/285th scale fighters, so that they are ready for a game at some point next month. I will need to work out the AF and DF factors for Broadside and Ram, however, which should be an interesting way to assess their relative strengths and weaknesses compared to the broadside ironclads of the Royal Navy.

  1. At least three divisions or possibly four. I'm thinking off adding a couple more monitors and possibly some more screw sloops or gunboat.
