RE: MWCI rules
Now you see one of the reasons I like Big Gun. Simpler. If the ship had armable weapons (over 3"), arm what you want, in the same positions as the original, of course. If it rotated on the original, it can rotate on the model (if you can figure out how).
Well, except for Western Warships, which places an absolute maximum on number of armed barrels.
