Almost two years ago I wrote a post about a few Age of Sail warship sketches I made, and how they could be used as proxies for their more expensive alternatives. It took a while, but now I could put the thought to practice.
The doodles were printed in colour, pasted onto 2mm balsa pieces painted white, and mounted on blue circular bases, which are just coins topped with texture paste.
Some tokens representing forts, landing parties and boats were added for variability. I also found the perfect material for quick and easy islands - thick vegetable cardboard boxes from your local supermarket, their outer side is coloured green.
A squadron of three ships attempts to take an island fort - the defenders sally to meet the landing party.
Barbary galleys stage an attack on a West-bound convoy in the Ionian islands.
Using favourable wind, the Red squadron approaches the bay held by the Blue line.
