I just found this: http://www.naval-history.net/NAVAL1914-18.htm

Perhaps it can be used as a guide for establishing a fleet's strength. It shows that the Austro-Hungarian Navy, in August of 1914, had:

3 Dreadnoughts, 3 Semi-dreadnoughts , 6 Pre-dreadnought battleships, 4 Coast defence ships, 3 Armoured cruisers, 2 Protected cruisers, 4 Light/scout cruisers, 25 Destroyers, and 6 Submarines.

There were no battlecruisers or aircraft/seaplane carriers in the AH fleet. But, compared with the Turks, they were doing pretty well:

2 Pre-dreadnought battleships, 1 Coast defence ship, 2 Protected cruisers, and 8 Destroyers.

I have to admit I was a bit surprised to see such a large listing for Greece.

I'm not sure that any of these maps are the right scale but they are really fantastic for capturing the mood of the game (imo).

Not quite a website, but I know I need this book:

I'm tracking down maps today. I found these:

http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/EART/ams.html

http://archaeology.asu.edu/Jordan/SLevant50k.html

http://grunt.space.swri.edu/visit/maps/maps.htm

http://www.clearwatertarn.co.nz/New_Zealand_Maps/NZ_topographical_maps/NZ_topographical_maps_1.html

Some are 1:50000 scale.

And…

http://www.multimap.com/

has a "Zoom to 1:50000" function.

For battles over England, there would be the maps of this series:

I wonder if there's anyone with enough gaming space to lay all of them out…

I took a day or two off from what seemed to be a Link-a-Day trend to work on a 1:50000 poster (1.219m x 1.828m) map of the area around Philadelphia, PA.

I knew I'd get around to this one sooner or later. I am very curious to know what Nefs look like on the inside. I doubt I'll take to time to mock-up deck plans for any ship in the near future but here's what I'd use as a guide:

Scroll down to "1960's FRAM II Deck, Cross Section & Starboard View Plans" before you give up on this site.

This is a kind off 'official' webiste resource in that we have used Griffith's anti-grav stystem and his Solar System for the Aeronef and Captain's Handbook:

http://www.forgottenfutures.com/game/ff2/

You can download the stuff here, but I really urge people to buy the CD-ROM off Marcus Rowland as there is TONS more material on it and the money goes to charity.
