I’ve had a change of mind with the Cruel Seas project and, after I complete the VP boat and M Class minesweeper, will move onto finishing the French MTB’s that I assembled and started painting last year. These will form the 23rd MTB flotilla in early 1944, as originally planned, and will enable me to actually play some scenarios against the 5th S-Boot Flotilla once they’re finished. As we are unlikely to be back at the club in the next few months, this will give me the chance to get some games under my belt to learn the rules. I can also experiment with Narrow Seas as a rules alternative, which is something I’m really looking forward to trying out too. It all sounds suspiciously like an actual plan!
