Cruel Seas seems to be very popular at the moment. Despite a shaky start with a rulebook that was rushed and required a reprint the game seems to be doing well. I of course jumped on the bandwagon however I have yet to pick up the rules.
I decided to go with a Pacific theme first and went with Japanese. The Japanese Fleet is certainly different and unique to the other options available, most notably the suicide Kamikaze vessels and the Sampans.
All the models are 1/300 which is a rather large scale for Naval Warfare however as the game is focused around MTB and small fleet engagements it should not be too crowded on a 6 x 4 table.
The mat photographed is from Fatmat in Australia and as you can see it is very blue but perfect for the pacific.
My Fleet is painted up and ready to play! Let's hope my dice roll honorably.
