Oh, wow!

I mean not only the play-testing but those balsa ships!

I still have maybe 2 dozen british, french and spanish ships of the line and a handful of frigates which I cast in tin for WS&IM and then painted. The masts are needles and the sails paper lmao.

Got the game from like the only store which sold such stuff in Berlin back in the 80s.

Memories, yeah :P

Wooden Ships & Iron Men is an adaptation of Juggernaut's miniatures game Ship of the Line which was designed by Craig S. Taylor back in the 1970s. If you go hunt up a copy of the original Juggernaut rules, you will find a list of contributors and play testers from an even earlier version of SotL, and on that list you will find a young whippersnapper by the name of David Weber.

I still have the scratch built balsa miniatures of the entire Spanish Navy (circa 1800), the entire US Navy (above schooners, and some of them) from 1812-14, five squadrons of the Royal British Navy, the entire Russian (Baltic) line of battle from 1805-1815, and five squadrons of the French Navy circa 1805.

Ah, the memories! :lol:
