No one remembers the good things you do, but get pictured once kissing a fish, and that is all they will go on about for centuries.

I've enjoyed painting them and have some more on order.
Darker hulls, lighter decks for the Japanese.

Today marks my very first collaborative storytelling event with Critical Chance Collective.
My R/P/S cards didn’t arrive in time, so I had to get a bit creative and improvise
Really looking forward to this adventure — and to many more CCC stories to come.

Black Powder tonight Epic ACW.
It was my worst defeat ever. 55 mins a 650-point gane was over.
A broken brigade and damage across my line.
My command roles were atrocious, and we just never managed to get a battle lien together.
