Description
#Battle of Tsushima#
##Japanese 3rd Squadron##
Here are the ships need to field the Japanese 3rd Squadron at Tsushima. Some ships are already available in marcusmoles collection (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2860250), 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. Multiply by 1.666 to scale up.
The rules I currently use 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 paining guide.
Both of these books are available at Wargame Vault.

There are two models for the Matsushima class cruisers as the lead ship differed in design to her sisterships. The main difference is that the remaining ships in the class has the main turret located in the bow rather than the stern.
