HMS Excellent Armor tug.

My buddy Anton loves odd warships.   When I saw this armor tug with a 9.2 inch gun.   Will I had to post.  Here is your next project Buddy.







The EXCELLENT seems to have been ordered into action off Westende during November, 1914 (armed with a 9.2" gun)
in bombardments of that area of the coast and again on March 11th 1915. Bacon, in "The Dover Patrol" has her,
 under Commander Edward McC. W. Lawrie, bombarding the Westende Batteries on 7th September, 1915.
 These activities are all covered in "Naval Operations".

    River wars WW1 rules book

    Posting this for my good friend Anton.   This is your type of battles.   After yesterday great Dreadnought battle I figure you might like this rule set.

     River Wars" covers naval engagements on the Danube and other European waters. The supplement includes a host of new rules covering mines and torpedoes, troops on shore, land based features and targets and the riverine environment.  Data tables are included for over thirty new ship and vessel types from the navies of the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, Serbia, Romania and Turkey.

    River Wars can be had for the price of $2.50 from Wargame Vault.  That is less the price of a gallon of gas or Bar Burger...

    Two further supplements are envisaged, one covering riverine actions in the Russian Civil War, the other expanding the campaign settings in Africa.
