          I'm going to attempt doing a couple of battleships with those battleships with wing turrets (like Dreadnought and Blücher) and midships turrets (like Texas, Konig, and some of the Japanese ships). Any help with that will be greatly appreciated, since all of my trial attempts thus far are disasters.

            Wow, thanks Scott!

            Just a bit of trivia: the HMS Warspite was the most often damaged ship in the history of the Royal Navy. She took damage in most of the RN's major battles between Jutland and the invasion of Normandy

              Scott actually I had just designed a newer version of the Bismarck and Hipper class. Your ships look excellent! The cage masts on the Maryland really were probably difficult, but they look very good. Are all of those going to be in your scenario?

                Scott: if you want to see an example of midship turrets, you can look at Nemo's Kongo class battleship which has it. I'll try and bump the thread where I posted my compilation with it

                  Yet another mass-posting of battleships coming in a moment.

                  Don't worry, I have done work on the scenario. With luck the final version of the multiplayer variant will be ready before Friday. I'll probably just post the url for the download here rather than send it by email (I don't have the email addresses of all of the playtesters and not all of the playtesters I am emailing have repied with anything). Once the glitches are out of it (shouldn't take too long, as this one should be nearly perfect), I will draw up the special rules and events for the civilization-specific batch files.

                  Also, I take it from the lack of comment that no one is interested in attempting a multiplayer game of this once it's working right? I have no clue how to go about doing a play-by email game though.

                  Case: Warspite was a very distinguished ship. As a final show of defiance, she ran aground while being led to the breakers to be scrapped.

                  Anzac: I'll check Nemo's Kongo to see if that will work or not. The cage masts weren't hard to come up with at the start (checkerboarded colors) but making them so that they didn't look crappy took a lot of trial and error with different shades of gray.

                    HMS Courageous, one of Jackie Fischer's tin-clad battlecruisers, armed with four fifteen inch guns in two twin mount turrets. Another example of people learning the wrong lessons from military actions (this time at the Dardanelles).

                    • HMS Furious, sister ship of Courageous, was even more extreme. She was armed with a mere two eighteen inch guns (the first and only time in history such large guns were mounted until Yamato and Musashi came along). All of Fischer's "Outrageous" class tin-clad battlecruisers were later converted into aircraft carriers. Only Furious survived WW2.

                      • HMS Hood, whose fate is well known (send her against the Bismarck on the previous page ). Likely one of the most graceful and distinctive ships ever built.

                        • HMS Malaya, of the same class as HMS Warspite, shown here as she looked during World War 2. The Queen Elizabeths were all modernized in the interwar and all looked similar, though a couple of them went through a further second modernization which changed their appearance dramatically.

                          • HMS Valiant, shown after her second modernization (Barham and Malaya were the only ones that did not undergo two separate modernizations).
