Now all I need is the ship data for the rest of the conflict :? , Anyone know or have a good source that details armour and armament , including its location on the ships ??

I've published rules on the ACW before so I'll be adapting the tables I generated for those rules as necessary. In the meantime "Civil War Navies" by Paul Silverstone is a good starting point, as is this website:

And if you are going to publish these or your AoS rules and want them proofreading first just send me them in an email, (If you still have it) or send me a message via here and I'll mail you again

Nice work, Fast as hell too.
Finally the reason I need to buy those Thoroubred Miniatures ships that I have been wanting!
I saw these at a gaming convention last year and drooled for the next 10 minutes.

Thoroughbred aren't Houstons. Thoroughbred models are 1/600, Houstons are declared as 1/1200 but probably closer to 1/1000 or 1/1100.
I use 1/1200 for wargaming the period, but do have quite a few 1/600 Thoroughbred models that I was planning to do for a demo / parti game base don the battle of Trent's Reach (one day I might even get around to painting them up!!!)

Query, as part of the same paragraph in Movement
This says may turn mid and end (also "move 1/2 move again" may be better as "move 1/2 speed" again)
In the following
Flank speed ~ Unless i missed it, Is there no negatives to being on Flank speed?? and is there no limit to how long you can strain the engines for ??

can you clarify ?DM rules said:
In the following
Should fire out be a 5-6 as per minor fire, otherwise what happens if a 5 is rolledDM Rules said:

On the first question - you can move at 1/2 distance and full distance. ou can also delay the furst set of turns until after 1/2 distance but if you do you don't get to move at the end.
Example - a ship moves 6" so it can turn at 3" and 6". If it turns at 4" it can't then turn again.
Fires - out on 6 only, stil burns on 1-5
Flank speed - I'll add a chance of doing permanent damage to the engines if it is attempted.

PS expect an update in the next 24 hours

Got it now, I just did not read it like that, I took "after half move" too literally to be at the half move point rather than over half its move.
Had my other head on for some reason
