Despite a few conspicuous successes (sinking of Glorious by Scharnhorst & Gneisenau, of Hood by Bismarck), the German naval surface forces were incapable of fulfilling more than a mission of « fleet in being ». They no longer ventured in the Atlantic...

I could at last try the Netherlands East Indies 1942 scenario I had written for the HALSEY campaign rules of Sam Mustafa’s NIMITZ set. I controlled the ABDA, and my old partner in games Patrick was commanding the IJN. There was however a misunderstanding...

Let's face it, it's hard to identify a 1/2400 model, however great the sculpt can be. From 1 meter, it's not that easy to tell a Kagero from a Fubuki destroyer. So you'll need a way to identify ships. Of course, you can be content with scribbling the...

Admiral Beatty’s management of the Battlecruisers force at Jutland remains a subject of controversy, more than a century after the battle. The truth of the matter, however, seems to be less a lack of protection than defective ammunition procedures, compounded...
