From JP - 1/1200 ACW by Thoroughbred and Langton miniatures (28 points)

Hi folks, as usual I am trying to get something done quickly and ahead of Christmas. The obvious choice is my ever growing ACW collection.

These are rather large vessels, pretty much at the top of the vessel sizes for the ACW.

 USS Dictator was the largest US Ironclad built, late in the war. She's a real bruiser under any gaming rules for this period.

CSS Alabama needs no introduction for connaisseurs of the era - the most reknown of Confederate raiders. CSS Rattlesnake and Colonel Lamb were blockade runners.

Here are the 4 together along with a stern view. As an idea of size, Dictator was more than twice as large as Monitor.

I am claiming 

4 x large 1/1200th vessels    at 5 points each (for lack of a better idea!) = 20 points

Welcome back to the Challenge, JP!

Great work on these ACW ships. I always thought it was particularly brave to be in any of the wooden riverine craft during this period as the ranges were so close and the guns quite large. Brutal.

1/1200 scale naval has always been a bit of a puzzle for scoring in the Challenge, but we'll go with 5 points for smaller craft and 10 for larger vessels with full masts and rigging. With this in mind, I'll pitch these at 7 points each for a total of 28. Well done, JP!
