C in C 1/1200th Ancient Ships
Thanks to a generous TMPer, I managed to pick up about 60 of these ships for less than .50 cents each, including shipping. These should be more than enough for future Roman Seas games. Half will be painted with blue markings and the other half in red. I hadn't really heard of C in C before, and after reviewing their site, I saw that these ships are now out of productions (no images). I bought these sight on seen, since their other products, like WW2 aircraft look great. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw them today for the first time. They seem like a good match in size with the Langton and Valiant ships I previously acquired - the painted examples in the photo.
I'll start on them after the Old Glory French - which are just primed at the moment.

WOW!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of oars, nice work and bargain.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm going to prime them all black and repaint the ones with brown already. Also will base them on plasticard - like the earlier eight ships. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you've got a nice couple of fleets going. So, what are your plans for gaming with them?
ReplyDeleteDave:
ReplyDeleteAdrian & I playtested Roman Seas (a long time ago). Once the ships are ready, and I get a hex mat, we'll likely use Roman Seas again. At least for starters; willing to try out other rules too though. Best, Dean
As little cross referencing on charts as possible. :D
ReplyDeleteHey, that would be a great name for some rules - "Chartless Seas" :)! Maybe we can design them. Dean
ReplyDeleted6's or d20's? :D
ReplyDeleteWow, what a haul. Nice buy Dean. I haven't seen those babies in decades.
ReplyDeleteI'm very jealous, Dean. I've been trying to find C-in-C ships for years. Years. I finally gave up and went with 1:600 Xyston ships.
