I would be up for coming down to play, I drive down to DC area like once a
month or more anyway... I haven't seen my own collection for a couple months
now though :( i moved out of the house where it is... at last count i was up
to something like
2 SES
3BSB
5RBR
3IF
5IAF
4 RR
2 CC
2 modified larger CC
2 very large wide hull ships
5+ IF sized smaller hull ships
and a couple other random ships...
unfortunatly i have only two cutters.... so i would not be very much use to
the campain game... i have islands though! :)
