Yes, I'm a Hoosier. I played a lot of miniature war gaming through the years in WWII armor, air and WWI air. Then I found out about ACW Naval ironclad wars. I'm hooked forever, in miniature ironclad playing, and the unbelievable History around it! This is the best Forum ever. There is so much history on our rivers during the ACW, its so cool! I would really like to see the CSS Manassas raised up and preserved. There is so much to learn about its tech make up and armor. and Viking like ram, that helped change the world in ship warfare forever.
