I will list it as total but allow listing for both shooting and non
shooting. And perhaps a big bold number what place one is in for shooting
cannons. I will also add a section for boats. Though i don't really know if
Row Boats had a big impact in a battle(well to contradict my self the most
famous ship around here, the USS Niagra was pretty much saved when Commodore
perrys flagship the St Lawrence went down and he used a rowboat to get to
the niagra, where he took commance and one the battle of lake erie in 1812.
The Niagra was part of the inspiration for my newest ship, though the ship
did not come out looking at all like i wanted it.)
I will try to make it to brickfest, I am trying to get my friend to come
down with me because he is a huge fan of wargaming, and starting to get back
into legos. I have registered, and about to send the money down there
tomorow or so. So hopefully i will get down there to play. I suppose i still
need the reservations though.
All right, gotta go update the page since Bruce sent me his fleet to list.
