There are no rules for river gunboats in The Men Who Would Be Kings, which is a shame, but they do feature in Death in the Dark Continent, so all is not lost. I've always fancied scratchbuilding one in 15mm or 28mm, so I thought I'd re-read this book for some inspiration and just because its a very interesting subject.
It's also got a couple of chapters that are of interest for Broadside and Ram or Dahlgren and Columbiad ironclad scenarios including one on the Crimean War and another on the Opium Wars, as well as the usual conflicts. I remember reading it years ago and I think I'll enjoy it just as much now as I did then.
Bryan Perret's a good author. I have his book on the Churchill tank.
ReplyDeleteYes, so do I and it's very good.
