    I don't know that Joakim in Stockholm... and you've reminded me that I need to change my location!

    The 50-gun plus frigate vs the 64 works quite well if the Royal Navy ships are manoeuvred well. In reality HMS Medea and Jupiter lined up on either side of Triton. The Medea only lasted about 30 min before needing to withdraw after a 36-lber holed her below the waterline. The Jupiter and Triton eventually withdrew from each other in the dark squall with no clear victor on either side, much like in the AAR.

    That probably explains it, my Frigates would both have been Amazon Class, I don't have a 50 Gun one, maybe I need 3 Frigates.

    It was a bit of a long shot about Joakim, he sounds a very nice guy.
    Cheers
