I have a couple of scenarios for Find, Fix and Strike to play, but I also have my War of the Pacific Peruvian and Chilean fleets for the War of the Pacific with me, so I'm going to set up a quick, skirmish level game using Dahlgren and Columbiad before the end of the week. It won't be strictly historical but I will be aiming to include some of the 1/2400th scale models that I've added to my collection since the last time I played a game. I also don't have any coastal terrain with me, so these will be actions out to sea, almost certainly featuring a few of the ocean-going ironclads, Almirante Cochrane, Blanco Encalada and Huascar, quite possibly a take on the second battle of Iquique in July 1879.
Looking forward to seeing those models again. That reminds me - have you seen this book - interesting account, lovely (colour!) pictures and a decent price on Kindle ...

Yes I have that one. Its one of the things that got me into the WotP in the first place. Well worth getting hold of.
