After a period of sabre rattling, relations between HM government and the Republic of Colombia have rather taken a turn for the worst. Admirable Trigo de Cobre of the Colombian Aeronef fleet had been threatening to disrupt British rubber suppliers from Brazil, so the British Admiralty despatched an aging Albion class carrier (which had been modified so it's command tower was to the right of the flight deck, instantly cutting landing casualties by 85%), with two Cossack class frigates as escorts to Ascension Island. They were to be joined by Force H, three cruisers from the Antilles, and a stronger, battleship based Force B from the Cape any moment.  The Colombian admiral has mobilised almost the entire fleet, seeking to strike down a soft British target before heavier reinforcements could arrive. The vanguard of the Colombian fleet, two gunships, two bombers, three patrol craft and the airplane tender had been on an intercept course, hoping to trap the carrier, forming up as soon a...

Two Exeter class cruisers escorting an Agemmenmon class monitor Love the gun design on the monitor, two downwards firing twin guns, genius Deck view, the monitor also has deck guns, unlike their French counterparts Bad day to be on patrol when you meet that face on! They look bullish Brigade also do some wonderful small scale scenary. They all fit on an A5 at the moment, but I am sure they will expand one day.

Tried to scatter basing a...
