I've been busy tying myself up in knots trying to work out which of the Tumbling Dice armoured cruiser models to order for the Argentinian squadron. Although the six cruisers were all based on the Italian Guissepe Garibaldi class, they were armed in a variety of configurations, so my initial 'off the peg' approach didn't work. After much head-scratching and some googling about, I have now worked out that I need three Critobal Colon cruisers from the Spanish range, which are armed with single mounts fore and aft, as well as two Japanese Nishin class cruiser with two twin mounts and one Kasuga class cruiser with a single and a twin mount, all of which should, in theory, fit the bill. I have some of these already but have now filled the gaps, while re-allocating the three Guiseppe Garibaldi class cruisers that I originally ordered to my Italian fleet. Mama Mia!
Isn't it funny the hoops we jump through trying to get these types of details correct. Hope they work out for you.

DeleteI think you mean the Cristóbal Colón rather than the Pelayo. It'd also be worth checking with Paul whether the model for the Cristóbal Colón has her main guns modled, 'cus historically she never had her main guns fitted, and of course she was sunk in her first battle.
ReplyDeleteYes you are right. I had a senior moment with these but it's all sorted now.
