Victory class naming conventions?

[Lord David the Denied]

If you're doing the Greek mythology theme, it should be Ares, not Aries. The I is only in the name of the constellation. For the Marathon class I'd have to go for names of Greek heroes from myth or history. Find out who commanded the Greek army at Marathon and use that.

I would check how I have spelt it, but I deleted my fleet list yesterday, and moved it elsewhere :-(

 

[Silvereye]

my chronos are ships from trafalgar, from all sides.

There were a load of duplicate ship names between the fleets. The British, French and Spanish all had a ship named Achillies.

I don't think the EAS Merlin was a Warlock. Titans, Enchantress, Sorcerer and Necromancer are noted in the 1.0 ed fleet book.

I have

EAS Indefatigeable Chronos
EAS Indomptable Chronos
EAS Intrepid Chronos
EAS Naiad Hermes
EAS Euryalus Hermes
EAS Sirius Hermes
EAS Argonaute Hermes
EAS Neptuno Hermes
EAS Pluton Hermes

My Hyperions are famous battleships. Bismarck, Yamato, Hood

and LDTD I had spelt Ares wrong, thanks for the correction!

You could take the B5=Lord of the Rings thing to an extreme and call your Victorys Narsil and Anduril

they cost a pretty penny, I make sure I use them!

was sorely tempted to spend €100 on two Napoleonic books by Richard Holmes earlier today

I have quite a few napoleonic books, but I can't remember who by, they are in storage in the loft at present.

you've almost certainly got something by Philip Haythornthwaite, the man is a giant in the field!
