Consolidated Micronaut Wish List

Hi Don

Thanks very much for your input.

GHQ used to have combat command like boxes of modern micronauts. I would really like to see something like that brought back featuring 1980's Maritime pre-positioning ships (MPS) such as the 2nd Lieutenant John P. Bobo class or USNS 1st Lt. Harry L. Martin class and Sergeant Matej Kocak class

[Donald M. Scheef]

I recently noticed that GHQ's GWG21 will model SMS Stuttgart rather than the class leader Konigsberg. Konigsberg differed in appearance (notably, the spacing of the funnels) from the other three ships of the class. GHQ's choice is actually better for those wanting to duplicate the ships at Jutland because Konigsberg was not there.

However, since Konigsberg did have an interesting combat history, I am placing this ship back in the Consolidated Micronaut Wish List with 1/4 the votes Konigsberg class had before GHQ announced this year's list.

I would also add the Japanese Akatsuki class DD.

[Donald M. Scheef]

OK, I'll also add a vote for WWII Japan destroyer Akatsuki class.

FYI, I made the following adjustments:
I placed the vote for HMS Ceres on the WWI Ceres class - there was no significant change in appearance of this ship between wars.
I follow the classification of Conway's: WWII UK destroyer classes A&B are grouped together with C class separate. For each, there is a separate entry for pre-war appearance, early-war appearance (basically, one bank of torpedo tubes replaced with 3" anti-aircraft gun), and late-war appearance (as escort destroyer).
Likewise, O&P classes go together, with various modifications; S class is separate
WWII France battleship Paris is Courbet class.
WWII France heavy cruiser Tourville is Duquesne class.
