    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.

    Thank you for the A.A.R.'s , Rob. It looks like the British needed H.M.S. St George.

    Thank you for those AARs, Rob.

    Today I was able to up load my pictures and will add some more spice to the battle of the Nile.

    The "Band of brothers" did a great job.

    I look forward to seeing the pictures Sven.
    Does your comment mean that next time we will get spiced Rum in our glasses?
    Chris please take note for your Trafalgar game next year.

    Also thanks for the Rep Sven. Not many people are using that facility anymore.

    Indeed Dave. She would certainly have come in handy especially if armed with a few ground to Air Lance missiles.

    Just looked at your superb photos of the Nile Sven.
    I have unashamedly plundered a few which I missed out on myself.
    One which I must reproduce here is the ship donated most kindly by Nightmoss for the action.
    For a ship on fire it is awesome.

    So will I do.

    Yes - thank you Nightmoss. This burning miniature contributed a lot to the scenario.

    Lucky HMS Vanguard set it on fire.

    Rob, I've seen the photos from the album and I really liked the village set in the arid zone. Very well done.

    Thank you very much Julián. I take that as a compliment coming from the Maestro of terrain design himself.
