NAUMACHIA : PART I

And here we have them . All lit up. Its wonderful. Like fairyland. All lit up.......

No, actually, here we have the ancient Carian city of Miletus. In 1/3600 scale.

The ships are Outpost Wargame Services' 1/3600 series.

A normal day at the merchant harbour with traffic coming and going.

Some odd wind patterns but no one notices.

And then ! here comes a Roman fleet. The landlubbers with their towered flagships, and a vanguard of corax-equipped quinqueremes.

Roman quinqueremes and hepteremes in centre with towers

Corax-equipped ships in front

The Milesian's launch their guard flotilla of triereis.

But because this is just a demonstration parade it all ends with a cup of tea.

Finally a peek at the walls of Hexapolis. A modular fortification system for this scale I made to go with the modualr city of Hexapolis.2mm figure strips work ok with it.

Obviously not meant to be placed in the sea!....
