Naval gazing
Saturday saw a visit from the Forbodian ambassador aka Mr Gow. He brought along a most diverting naval game. Simple, elegant and fun.
The ships were set out as well as the gunnery range required for shooting. In an ideal world it would have been set up on another table.
All the family tried their hand at gunnery. Basically Britains field gun, matchsticks and a target whose size depends on the range.
Sadly my ships ended thus-
All in all terrific fun had by all and a fantastic game. Thanks Tim!

Tradgardmastare,

All the best,

Old school naval, excellent!

ReplyDeleteSounds like a good time for all (and a good time for all to have a good time).
What splendid fun. Those models look amazing. Is that a Pommern class pre-dreadnought on the right?
ReplyDeleteThe same ship models can be seen in action here: http://megablitzandmore.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/dawn-breaks-over-skagerrak.html
DeleteThat looks like fun - nothing beats firing a matchstick gun...
