That was a sure and slippery slope to the demise of your Fleet.

    But now that I’ve completed the 2014 Campaign you’ll have company for the 2015 one. I already have the storyline twirling in my head - and it will require some imagination for a ‘pirate’ fleet of several SoL.

    I was doing some research for a pirate idea, 28mm figures, this was a game I played http://vagabondswargamingblog.blogsp...not-naval.html and came upon a Chinese lady who had the biggest ever fleet of pirate ships. I referenced her name in the post, what ships she had I've no idea but I believe she went to war with Britain and China so they must have been substantial.

    A most entertaining interlude John.

    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.
