[QUOTE="Rel, post: 2122067, member: 99"] I'll give you a few more details in the lead-in to the adventure once I've gotten it written up. [i]The Indomitable[/i] is basically a steam powered Gunship of the [i]Dauntless[/i] class. Some 70-80 feet long, armored but not heavily. She would typically carry a crew of around 20. All of her guns are deck mounted rather than inside the hull. This exposes the gun crews to enemy fire but provides maximum visibility and angle of fire for the weapons. For a small ship like this it is deemed necessary for her to bring as many guns as possible to bear at one time. A typical weapon loadout would be a 4" Long Gun mounted on both bow and behind the pilothouse, 3lb Hotchkiss Rotating Canons as the "waist guns" and some anti-personell weapons (typically Nordenfelt's though the Royal Navy is considering moving to the Maxim Gun) on swivel mounts port and starboard near the tail. As for the specific weapons the ship is armed with for this adventure, all will be revealed in the fullness of time...;) [/QUOTE]
