Some historical scenario snapshots from New Zealand
Hi Captains
I have been playing a number of historically-inspired scenarios with my 10- and six-year-old sons recently, using Basic Rules and Enemy in Sight! set-up to keep it simple, not all of which are completed due to changeable attention spans, but which may be picked up again as interest strikes. I've taken a number of photos, which don't count as full AARs, but I thought I'd share for your interest:
Battle of Vizagapatam, 15 September 1804:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vizagapatam
HMS Centurion [Leopard] receives broadsides from Marengo [Genereux] and Semillante [Courageuse] and delivers one against Marengo in return.
Attachment 54066
Centurion delivers a partial broadside against the starboard bow of Marengo.
Attachment 54067
74-gun Marengo manoeuvres to deliver a devastating stern rake against 50-gun Centurion which forced her to strike, reversing the historical outcome of the battle.
Attachment 54068
I will add additional historically-inspired scenarios and photos as time permits. Next will be HMS Guerriere [Sybille] versus USS Constitution, 19 August 1812.
