Peter Pig Catalogue

Range 7 - "Hammerin Iron"  ACW Riverine

1/600th Warships and models for the American Civil War

This range covers the American Civil War 1861 to 1865. Included in the range are ships, forts and figures. This allows the player to fight all aspects of the riverine war. The ships are mostly resin castings. Some of the smaller ships are metal castings. Most ships also come with metal fittings such as funnels. they are easy to paint and put together. Like all Peter Pig ranges this range is constantly being added to. This range started in 1991 and has been popular ever since. "Hammerin Iron II" rules along with an associated land supplement are available from us to. See rules page.

It is quite reasonable to have games with only 1 ship per side which means you can have access to this period of warfare for only a small amount of
money.
