Singling Book - ACW Book

Playtesting is progressing. I have started the wrapping up of the images for the game. I have a few more playtests to go. Too many things going on to be able to finish this out lately. I hope to have this ready for release by month's end. I am very close.

I have sent an initial copy of the ACW book to the author of Dawn of Iron to review. I am also slowly building up all of the needed models. There are the newest elements of the fleet.

This is 3 prints of the USS Commodore Perry to represent the Commodore Perry, Hunchback and Morse. Then two prints of the CSS Jeff M Thompson to stand in for the USS Commodore Barney and USS Shawsheen. Then a print of the USS Harriet Lane and a print of the CSS Tuscarora (to stand in for the CSS Seabird).

I still need some standins for the following US Ships:

Ship	Image
USS Isaac N Seymour
USS Ceres
USS General Putnam
USS John L Lockwood	No Image Found
USS Henry Brinker	No Image Found
USS Underwriter
USS Stars and Stripes
USS Philadelphia
USS Southfield

Search for Models - 1/600 ACW Naval

I am looking for suitable models for several ships for my ACW naval supplement. I have 9 vessels that I have not found a suitable stand in model for or an actual model for. I have reached out to two manufacturers of STLs for the period and am waiting to hear back. HEre is what I am missing:

Ship Name	Dimensions	Notes
USS Ceres	108'4"x22'4"	Sidewheeler
USS General Putnam	103'x22'	former tug
USS Henry Brinker	82'x26'7"	screw steamer
USS Isaac N Seymour	100'x19'8"	sidewheel tug
USS John Lockwood	114'x24'	sidewheeler
USS Philadelphia	200'x30'	sidewheeler
USS Southfield	200'x34'	double ended sidewheeler
USS Stars and Stripes	124'3"x34'6"	screw steamer
USS Underwriter	170'x23'7"	sidewheeler

I am currently having some models printed that I own but have not been able to print. The Jamestown is one I had not only printed but had fully painted. Then I dropped it and it shattered. I also am having a Wabash done (upscaled USS Minnessota) and a model of the Forrest. I have the models to play most of the scenarios that I have written. Some of the larger ones are missing a few ships that I outlined above. I hope to start playtesting these soon.

North Carolina Sounds - 1862 - Dawn of Iron Scenarios

I have done some more work on the my Mosquito Fleet book. I think I have all of the scenarios fleshed out. There are at least seven scenarios in the book. With the help of the rules author, I have managed to get ship stats on most of the vessels. I have finished with all of the maps. I still haven't found suitable models for all of the ships that are in the scenarios. I have narrowed them down a bit recently. I have reached the point where I can start playtesting the scenarios that I have for them.

I am really looking forward to trying these out. I may change the activation for my games to be card driven similar to Kiss Me Hardy with each ship having a move and fire card. Then use the rest of the Dawn of Iron rules as is.
