For those who may not be in the know, when an enemy ship was captured at the time, it was generally sold to the crown for a...

Wow, this thread tacked hard to port.
Various nautical tunes I like.
I've always been partial to just how gruesome the lyrics to this really are -

The Clash of Arms game Close Action uses signal forms for multi-player. I'll have to double check how they work, but I recall it was fairly simple. I think it was along the lines of captains could...
Howdy Leatherneck! One of my brothers retired from the Corps, after being the reserve 20 years.

Greetings all, I'm Chanfan/Michael E. I just snuck into the Kickstarter after watching it for a long time, largely via BoardGameGeek.
I have a long history of Napoleonic interest, and...
