2mm lads. "Perhaps the most realistic wargaming scale." Take that!

I actually don't really like games.

That is an insane level of detail for 2mm

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

Oh, Banzai, this was so delicious.
Due to the usual probelms of funds not being voted by Parliament, King Charles had put much of the english fleet into ordinary.
This let the Dutch attack into the Thames river and burn or capture many. 
A real example of assuming the enemy is ready to surrender.

"We've got the torpedo damage temporarily shored up, the fires out and soon will have the ship back on an even keel. But I would suggest, sir, that if you have to take any more torpedoes, you take 'em on the starboard side."   Pops Healy, DCA USS Lexington.

Thank you. That's my ignorance...I can't see that link at work; they're blocking it because it's "social media." Yet I can get here, and on Facebook and on Imgur...sigh.  :doh:
