The only thing missing was adding in the Philippines, but that is an easy fix.<br /><br />I bring that up as the Spanish was sending a flotilla to the Philippines that included the Pelayo (love the look of this battle wagon). While near the Suez Canal it was reported that an American fleet was on its way to Spain. A ruse but it worked and the flotilla came back and Commodore Dewey was safe.<br /><br />You can contact me at jonyuengling @ gmail.com if you have any questions. And yes I am very interested in this period.<br /> Jon Yuenglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140492307166591621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-82637590113914225602014-09-29T13:56:57.684-07:002014-09-29T13:56:57.684-07:00Thanks for that feedback re RtM!

That might be an interesting exercise and give me a chance to get the Houston Ships back out onto the gaming table. If I ever get to giving the game a try as a campaign driver, I may ask for your inputs.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-52954346496122318192014-09-29T13:21:15.275-07:002014-09-29T13:21:15.275-07:00The Naval and Land Systems in Remember the Maine a...The Naval and Land Systems in Remember the Maine are worth while.
