    The latest addition to the New Zealand fleet: USS Constitution
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/3ko1yf6sif...AUG20.jpg?dl=0

    This completes my fleet for the time being which, in addition to the Starter Set, includes:
    - SGN115A - Bucentaure 1803
    - SGN114A - HMS Agamemnon 1781
    - SGN1108 - HMS Leopard 1790
    - SGN105C - HMS Sybille 1794

    In addition, my two sons are fans and have their own ship each:
    - SGN111C - Principe de Asturias 1794 (5 y.o.)
    - SGN1088 - HMS Royal George 1788 (10 y.o.)

    Note the strange preference for first-rates by the new generation (bigger must equal better, right?)!

    Lots of historical and hypothetical combinations possible with these ships and the Starter Set (particularly if I use the French ships as British prizes of the same class, e.g. Courageuse as HMS Concorde).

    Now, all I need is more time and bad weather to play!

    Looks as if you have a fine start to your fleet there Rhys, but what is most encouraging is that your two sons are interested.
    Rob.
    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Thanks Rob, yes, they were probably more excited about Constitution arriving than I was. They're sharing day-on, day-off to "play" with it!
