Torpedoes and Tides East Coast Convoy

East Coast convoy shipping already assembled 

A few years ago I assembled a selection of 1/600th scale Skytrex, now Heroics and Ros, merchant shipping for East Coast convoy duties c1939 - 1943. This was an eclectic mix of tramp steamers, colliers, coasters and barges, with a big tanker to round it off. It isn't really enough for a proper convoy game so I'm going to build four or five more models, mainly duplicates but with some individual variations in layout and deck features, so that I have a proper convoy of shipping. The plan will be to use these with Torpedoes and Tides as British merchants for the East Coast and English Channel routes, with some German shipping to follow on later. In the summer I'm also hoping to run a solo campaign set in the early war and featuring a fictional MGB or E Boat flotilla.

    It seems you have read my mind - I'm working on an East Coast Convoy campaign for TnT. It will work a bit different from the campaign that is in the book, as it will be much more specific. No idea yet when it will come out though.
