[quote=alan2525]Didn't Louis the 14th do something similar on the Lake at Versailles - I seem to remember hearing that he used to partake in miniature sea battles with scale replica galleons firing miniature cannon at each other.

Miniature sea battles go back to Roman times . They even built amphitheatres that were flooded to accommodate the mini fleets. As usual in those spectaculars it was a real fight to the death with slaves and prisoners fighting for their lives. You can see a less bloodthirsty WW11 mini sea battle at Peasholme Park in Scarborough twice a week in summer. It has been going since the 1930s, then the scenario was WW1.
