 I wonder does anyone have alternative ship name for the PP models FOR SALE on their web site

I know in the rule book there are alternatives listed ie: U.S.S  Osage coule also be used as U.S.S Neosho  BUT  PP does not sell that model so what I mean is.....

If I wanted the U.S.S  Casco  is there a model PP sells that looks like the Casco ??

but not just the Casco any  Lookalike 'models'

i hope you all get what i mean

rebs 

large fort
Virginia
macon
Gen Bragg
Drewry
little rebel 
sumter

Game went really well Virginia held water between islands, and i kept other ships at end of table, looked impassable,  until Crit hit on Virginia =  Dean rolled double 6..........  

couple of weeks later i tried playing yankee

large fort
Hartford
Miami
Com Morris
Osage
Signal
Gen Sedgwick

again islands/ sand bars  upstream
large fort held well  game ended in points draw

seems a large fort upstream along with islands / sand bars makes it really tough to crack...
to be honest thats why i have ordered a med fort ( and upgraded ships of course ) to see  how it effects the outcome

totally agree, as you can see the George Page is not a super ship  :-D .  and i think i'll lose the Fast 120 points,  as this will make a good ship for topping up points when im at 5800   or so

I am sure many of you already know this but any newbie like myself may find it of use

The ship in question is the george page , captured by the rebs,  was a side wheel steamer  410 tons, 2 guns ( unknown type ). i have a resin model of that brought a while ago from a firm no longer trading

any help on stats

I would assume shes wooden with light guns ( forward maybe ) shallow  and maybe fast is so working on the points ...
410 ton  divide by 80 then plus 12 = 17.1  hit point  17
point cost
wooden 6 x 17 =102
1 fore 1 aft light pivot guns = + 60    =102 + 60 = 162
shallow + 60    ..   = 162 + 60 =222     

I could maybe add fast ship, of +120  giving total point of 222 + 120 = 342

I would welcome any thoughts

thanks in advance

of course I have and love the rulebook, , in fact i have only recently ordered the reb sample fleet off page 11 ( except Albermarle  which I have )

I know a lot of models can pass as several named vessels..

thanks for the reply Martin I will get back to you :-D

I have yet to find it, but if it is listed elsewhere i apologise.

I would love to have the data for all the ships for sale listed on Peter Pigs web site. if anyone has any please let me know

I do have a copy of all ships listed in the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies in the War of Rebellion,  although some data is real basic  ie:  side wheel steamer 410 tons

Thanks

Thanks guys, these are really helpful for a newbie..
