Sven makes a few final adjustments to the French Fleet.



The grand plan evolves.


Our Admiral has a ........


The British deploy.


The French line is invested.


Must be all that Black powder Neil.


A Jolly Captain Duff makes his move.



Now where did that Pirate spring from?


Not with me gov..


Nor me!


The battle developes.


Sven's Frigate Captain makes a rash decision.


The Admiral answers with a broadside


The battle becomes general.


The Games designer Andrea watches Simon have a senior moment too.


The British work along the French line.


A second French ship sinks.


An incisive move by the Admiral.



Close to close action.

Very enjoyable watching this action being planned online then being played. Well done.

[Killick]

Yes I agree with what Paul said.

[Bligh]

Here are a few shots from Simon's pirates game which followed the Nile action.



Close action was joined immediately.



My opening broadside.



The Pirates all manage to run aboard each other whilst the British decimate them with raking shots.



Enter the Dragon!



The British ships are immolated and the Pirates escape.

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

[Comte de Brueys]

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.

[Bligh]

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.



Just a pity you cant see the fire blinking.

Rob.

So will I do.

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

Lucky HMS Vanguard set it on fire.

[Bligh]

Lucky!

With Rafer J Larwood at the helm it was a miracle my dear Comte.
Bligh.

[Redcoat]

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

[Bligh]

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

To wind up my pictures for the weekend, here are a few I managed to take of Alfonso's game on Friday afternoon, whilst I was doing Neil's China 1938 game.
