Would it be possible to get stats for ships including:
Settsu, Ibuki, Aki, etc..... the semi-dreadnoughts that were built before WW1? Or are these in Battleship Zenith?

I have Spee's squadron painted up, and wanted to do a few "what ifs" One has him going against the RN's China Squadron. The other has him facing the Japanese squadron that went out hunting for him. WCDB has some scenarios along these lines. I just wanted to play them on a table.

Thanks!
Matt

Matt,

Dreadnought Rising (DR) is intended to only cover historic WW1 naval battles, and as such includes ships for the navies that actually actively engaged in that conflict (i.e. the British, German, French, Italian, Russian, and Austro-Hungarian navies). While Battleships Zenith (BZ) does include the IJN, the old pre-dreadnoughts are not included as they were all stricken/out of active service prior to the period covered by BZ.

I do not have DR-specific ship data created for the IJN for the WW1 period, sorry. As I am currently consumed with Navies at War, Supremacy at Sea and other NWS-related work it would require a rather wide demand for inclusion of additional ships/navies into BZ/DR for me to be able to justify taking the weeks of work required to add, say, the IJN to Dreadnoughts Rising. At this point such a level of demand simply does not exist, unfortunately.
