Pre-dread Cruisers

 The fleets are continuing to be built. Completed two ships last night. The lead ship is LNS (Federal Union of Laramidia naval ship) Arkandelphia, boasting 4--8' guns and 12--6" guns, followed by the light, protected cruiser the CRN Chupacabra with 6--6" guns. The Chupacabra is the first modern warship of the small but scrappy Republic of Ceviche. 

The Chupacabra is a fearsome yet noble beast that still roams the hinterlands of Ceviche. It is prominent on the republic's flag. Though a peace-loving nation, Ceviche has been forced to build up its military due to the threats by its increasingly aggressive neighbor Escalona. Ceviche and Laramidia are in talks to transfer the Arkandelphia to Ceviche. Laramidia would gain the rights pterosaur guano mining concessions. 

The two ships are involved in training exercises commanded by Captain Kurtas K. Kampka shown below in his tropical uniform.

    I'm really enjoying seeing your own pre-dreadnought navies building up. Fine modelling, with some materials I would not have thought of!
    Cheers,

  2. Thanks, Ion for your kind words!
    I am far from a perfectionist, but I worry that I will get so far into the weeds in terms of modelling the ships that it will take me forever to build up enough to have games.
