One of the scenarios for the Check Your 6 1948 Arab-Israeli War published in Rob Wubbenhorst's article in Wargames Illustrated calls for a vessel, the Eqyptian Amir Faruq. This happens to be a sloop similar in appearance to a Flower-class sloop, and so I decided to take advantage of the Topside Minis cheap prices and buy one of their Flower-class 1/1800 scale offerings. These are two dimensional renderings on self adhesive paper, that then is affixed to a base. For those interested in getting started in naval gaming but find the pricing of some ranges overwhelming, or the thought of painting is just too much to bear, Topside is an affordable way to give naval gaming a try...or in this case a target for Check Your 6.
