Turret vs Broadside


This is being published at some point before the end of the year and it looks really interesting, especially as have a lot of 1/2400th scale ships for the French and British of this exact period, including HMS Captain of course. It's a fascinating period of experimentation and engineering, with rival ideas about the development and design of ironclad warships causing more than a little friction, if not down right hostility between the two approaches to the problem. I'm looking forward to it!

    Definately worth reading, Dr. Fuller really knows his stuff. Have you read his earlier book on the ACW and the RN?

    Cheers,

    Pete.

      No I haven't. I'll definitely look it up.
