Very nice. Those British BCs were certainly lovely ships to look at.

A volume on German Battlecruisers is also planned.

New Vanguard has good subjects, but I'm underwhelmed with the quality to date...

I guess it's all in how you look at it...The New Vanguard series are volumes meant to provide reference information, and with most at 48 pages in length, there's not a whole lot of room to play with, know what I mean? I like the volumes that I have in my library, use them often, not just for the shipbuilding side, but for all miliitaria.
