An Article coming up in Wargames Illustrated about an American set of Rules and data Source.
Also an Article about painting the ships/Boats, with 4 PP ships.

I picked them up from Wargame Vault and also watched a game and review on Little Wars TV. I was attracted by the fact that they are very simple (probably too simple for people who are really into ACW naval games) and the various scenarios seem generally to use a 3'x3' table. Either way I'm sure the scenarios can be readily adapted to Hammerin' Iron. Every so often the scenarios (sold separately) are discounted on Wargame Vault.

I picked them up too as they were on sale. As is usual with PDF rules though, I forgot about them.

A subsequent review was rather unkind about  them.

I ve yet to play the game, but I am waiting for the "Big" book to come out. It is a great source for a lot of information on this subject. Some good scenarios ideas too.

Dawn of Iron, the first Anthology. All of it together with a load of "extras". Other than that I don't know anything ? Remember I am this side of the pond not that side ?

By Jove, I too am this side of the pond, or should it be yee-haw I'm this side too y'all. Anyhow, either way the big book is not for me as I have bought the instalments on Wargame Vault as and when they appeared as deal of the day. I think I may well print out the rules to make a small book, but the scenarios as and when needed. The various cards etc on card, as and when needed and put in sleeves.
