Recently read an article on the battle of Kon Chang;

Was interesting to see how our games units fit the Order of Battle.

France; Lamotte-Piguet -- Dumont D’urville and her sister Amiral Charne

That was the easy part;

Tahure a Amiens / Arras class 1 aviso sloop about 850 tons 246 feet in length

with 2 x 138.6 mm [5.6”] and 1 x 75 mm as main armament.

Marne a Marne class 1 aviso sloop;; [with her sister Aisne different from the rest of the

class having two stacks] 600 tons 256 feet in length with 4 x 100 mm M1917 and

1 x 75mm as main armament.

Nice to read what ships we have could sub for them.

Here is were things go nuts, read four articles get five different spellings.

Order of Battle (Royal Thai Navy)
Naval fighting force divided to 3 flotilla as following

1st Flotilla

1st Division,
HTMS Sri Ayudhya (gunboat) [Dhonburi] HTMS Phuket (torpedo boat) [Chonburi] HTMS Pattani (torpedo boat) [Chonburi] HTMS Surasdra (torpedo boat)[Chonburi]
HTMS Matchanu (submarine) [Sinsamudar] HTMS Sinsamut (submarine) [Sinsamudar]

3rd Division
HTMS Thonburi (gunboat) [Dhonburi] HTMS Rayong (torpedo boat ) [Chonburi] HTMS Songkhla, (torpedo boat) [Chonburi] HTMS Cholburi (torpedo boat) [Chonburi] HTMS Bang Rajan (mind layer)

2nd Flotilla

2nd Division
HTMS Tachin (sloop) [Tachin] HTMS Wirun (submarine) [Sinsamudar] HTMS Phlai Chumpon (submarine) [Sinsamudar]

4th Division
HTMS Mae Klong (sloop) [Tachin] HTMS Nongsa-rhai (mindlayer)

3rd Flotilla

HTMS Sukhotai (gunboat) British built coastal defense ship 2 in class
1100 tons 160 feet in length 2 x 152 mm 4 x 76 mm main armament
HTMS Chao Phraya (gunboat) Ex RN 1919 Hunt class mindsweeper

HTMS Phra Ruang (destroyer) Ex RN WW1 R class EX HMS Radiant

Again nice to see what units could fill in here.

My local group did a tournament based on Kon Chang.

Fleet Size: 100 points/15 units.
Restrictions:
1) No Battleships or carriers allowed. Your fleet must include at least 1 cruiser, 2 destroyers, and 1 auxiliary. You can include up to 2 Advanced Naval Bases but no other installations allowed. A maximum of 2 submarines are allowed. All units must be 1941 or earlier.
Map: Roll for map – 1-3 is Map 2, 4-6 is Map 4. Night on turn 1; turning to daylight on Turn 2.
Victory Conditions You win by being the first player to score 150 points at the end of the turn. Each objective is worth 50 points (see special rules). Each destroyed enemy unit is worth its point value. If your enemy has no ships in play at the end of the turn (Submarines and Aircraft don’t count as ships), then you score 50 bonus points -- per recent clarification, each player can receive this bonus once per game.
Special Rules:
1) Historical Significance: A player gains 5 bonus victory points for each named ship in their fleet from the following list: AXIS: Chonburi, Dhonburi; ALLIES (Vichy): Lamotte Picquet, Dumont D'Urville, (if you use multiple of the same name, you only earn bonus points once)
2) Recon Plane Attack: During the second turn of the game only, you may declare you're using Recon Plane Attack. If you do, assign the recon plane attack during the Air Mission phase. The recon plane can be attacked during the Air Defense phase. It has: Armor 3, Vital Armor 5, a Bomb attack of 2, and it can be aborted or destroyed normally.
3) Land airbases have a capacity of 5 aircraft (this limit includes aircraft with loiter ability).

I like the senecio very nice;; Think i'm going to do some research on;

Tahure--Marne // Sukotai-- Chao Phraya -- Phra Ruang -- see if the game has some close usable's and do a more historical scenario

of course with some what ifs;; Maybe someones already done some of those units?
