The naval wargaming plan for the latter part of the year was to run a series of linked games using my modern Chilean and Chinese forces, akin to the Indonesian Confrontation solo campaign that I played earlier this year. However, when the 2021 edition of Naval Command had to be taken in for a pretty comprehensive re-write, the naval wargaming Plan A was scuppered. I have now decided on a Plan B, which is to run a series of War of the Pacific games using Dahlgren and Columbiad with my existing Chilean and Peruvian forces, while I paint up my 1/3000th scale Italian WW2 fleet in the margins.

I played a couple of games last year with these models but haven't touched them since, so they have been seriously under utilised despite the games being really enjoyable. To kick start this off I'm adding a few extras, the first being the Chilean torpedo boats Janequeo and Guacolda, using the ASV93 Torpilleurs Defence Mobile model as the nearest thing. I'm really looking forward to playing some more games of Dahlgren and Columbiad, and may even have a go at running the campaign, if I can stretch my small collection of ships to cover all the angles?
Hi Jim, thanks for your detailed looks at this relatively obscure conflict. I'm planning on doing something similar with Tumbling Dice ships and 10mm Pendraken minis for the land campaign. Do you by any chance have a list of what codes you ordered from Tumbling Dice? I'm pretty much looking to recreate what you've done here, but I find their website a bit intimidating with no pictures! Thanks in advance :)
