I've now lined up the final naval project for next year, with an order dispatched to Navy Models and Books for a 1/3000th scale Davco starter battle pack for the early war Kriegsmarine c1940-41. This has been inspired by two things, firstly an excellent Narvik game I played at the club when it wasn't locked down back in the Summer and secondly, by a campaign supplement for Naval Thunder that I downloaded a couple of weeks ago, which covers the early war phase of naval operations in the North and South Atlantic from September 1939 to June 1940. The initial plan will be to assemble the ships for the Battle of the River Plate, then develop it outwards to include the various elements for the Norwegian campaign, with a specific focus on the first and second battles of Narvik. I can't wait to get started!
Welcome to my blog. I have upwards of 100 projects in various stages of incompletion or total abandonment, so you may well find something of interest if you rummage about a bit. I concentrate on solo air and naval wargaming but other 'skirmishy' things quite often pop up out of nowhere, only to disappear again after something else grabs my attention. I even finish the occasional project now and again!

Sounds like a plan. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteFine looking ships. I look forward to seeing your painted versions.
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
Me too. I'm going to focus on the destroyers first together with some U-Boats and merchants, as this is the basis of the Narvik scenarios.
