HMS Audacious for Broadside and Ram

 

Here's what I've worked out in terms of ship classification data for the Audacious class central battery ironclads, HMS Audacious, HMS Vanguard, HMS Invincible and HMS Iron Duke, based on relative speed, armament and armour distribution, using the system in the Broadside and Ram rules:

Type AS    CS  3    MS 4     AF  5     DF  7      Notes: Ram Bow                                                                          

Speed: 12-13kts, Armament:10 x 9'' RML / 4 x 6'' RML, Armour: 6-8'' armoured belt, 6'' battery armour, 5'' transverse bulkheads          

This all adds up to a respectable points value of 15, which is pretty good for starters and comparable to the contemporary HMS Bellerophon in terms of armament and armour protection, if not speed.
