Great War at Sea Jutland: Portugal’s Armada

What is Great War at Sea Jutland: Portugal’s Armada

From the Avalanche Press website…

“ Several times a year, when we feel like it, the Golden Journal brings Gold Club members some fun extras for their Avalanche Press games. Our new-model Golden Journal features a “real” booklet, just like a small magazine, and a small set of die-cut, silky-smooth playing pieces.

Golden Journal No. 59: Portugal’s Armada is for Great War at Sea, with 23 new die-cut and silky-smooth pieces. Portugal was a desperately poor country, and this influenced naval development more than any other factor. They desired a fleet to protect their colonies from British and German encroachment, but could not really afford it.

There are four distinct eras of Portuguese naval construction covered in Golden Journal No. 59, only one of which actually happened. First, you get the existing fleet; this has two “long” ship pieces: an ironclad re-built into a coast defense ship. They went cheap and instead just wasted the money. They also have a crapulent Elswick-built cruiser.
