After Action Report with Pics

[runelord]

Hi All, Played a game with 4 ships a side 2 SOls and 2 Frigates. The ships have had their masts and sails repainted in order to tell them apart quickly. Also I've dropped the random wind chits in favour of compass dice (from SnM Stuff). Also I use coloured bags (from the clever baggers) with the letter written on with a permanent marker.

The game went well with the British in line of battle and the French spreading out with the frigates trying to tease the brits into breaking their line which they did being harassed from range with shot whilst all being loaded with double shot. The French SOLs were loaded with chain so charged headlong into the action. The lead British frigate Terpischore took a pounding but kept going a confused action ensued with full broadsides being off loaded at point blank range. The Commerce de Bordeaux went down ironically aflame and leaking like a sieve. The game ended with French 2 untouched frigates, one sunk ship and a heavily damaged Genereux . British One intact SOL and three badly mauled ships.

French minor victory. Next scenario will see the two French Frigates trying to bring the British SOL to heel.
