(PS - when the Iowa was pulled out off mothballs and sent down to LA to be a museum, they kept it in Richmond, CA for a few months to be refitted and I got to check it out in its unfinished state. Wish I still had the pictures - it was very neat.)
I've done Mediterranean and Pacific in my escalation matches with Brigs, so maybe UK vs Germany (North Atlantic and all). Maybe also mid-war, like '42-43?
And that's neat about the Iowa. I visited the Missouri at Pearl Harbor when I was on a family vacation, but admittedly I need to do more to actually see some more of the museum ships out there (I may be moving to CT in the future, so Constitution and New Jersey might be in the cards)
The man who gets beat down isn't the loser. The guy who can't tough it out to the end, he's the one who loses.
