Japanese 3rd Squadron at Tsushima

#Battle of Tsushima# ##Japanese 3rd Squadron## Here are the ships needed to field the Japanese 3rd Squadron at Tsushima. Some ships are already available in Marcus Moles' collection (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2860250), and I have indicated these in the fleet list below. The models are scaled at 1:5000 but scale up to 1:3000 quite nicely. The photos are of models printed at 1:3000, which can be easily multiplied by 1.666 to scale up. The rules currently being used are Dreadnoughts at Dawn (https://www.wargamevault.com/product/228389/Dreadnoughts-At-Dawn?src=hottest_filtered). I have included ship data sheets for both sides. For additional scenarios and background, the Dawn of the Rising Sun (https://www.wargamevault.com/product/229621/Dawn-of-the-Rising-Sun-Scenarios?manufacturers_id=7981) scenario book is a great resource. It also includes a very good painting guide. Both books are available at Wargame Vault.

The main difference is that the remaining ships in the class have the main turret located in the bow rather than the stern.
