Argentinian Coastal Battleships

 

The two pre-dreadnought Argentinian coastal battleships, Independencia and Libertad, have now been added to the Tumbling Dice range, so my squadron will soon have some additional firepower. While classified as riverine battleships, these were more than capable of riverine action and would be deployed for defence of Argentinian claims to the Beagle Channel and Tierra Del Fuego, for example. Although comparatively small, lightly armed and armoured, these two pre-dreadnoughts will be very useful as a counter to the armoured cruisers and protected cruisers of the Chileans.
