AAR June Solo mission "Intercept"

I played this scenario (using standard rules) last night. HMS Concorde (32) vs Sybille (40) (Sorry for the poor picture quality)

Attachment 25971
Beginning of scenario.

Attachment 25972
Beginning of scenario from HMS Concorde.

Attachment 25974
HMS Concorde first shots with the forward port guns. Great shots that now put the battle on even keel.
I thought this is going to go well.

Attachment 25975
HMS Concorde fired broadsides with little effect while Sybille fired forward guns with accuracy.

Attachment 25976
Collision - with both vessels taking damage.

Attachment 25977
Sybille landed with a broadside while our forward guns missed.

Attachment 25978
Broadside all around with effect. It's not looking so good anymore.

Attachment 25979
Again another round of broadsides - significant damage to both. Sybille is working her way towards her freedom.

Attachment 25980
Concorde collided again both no damage to Sybille.

Attachment 25981
Concorde's final broadside before Sybille clears the area.

The Butcher's Bill:
I am really enjoying the game - and the interactions on the SOG anchorage boards.

Blanket used for my mat. Logo from one of the submarines I served on.

Nice mission and write up Jerome.
I loved the blanket for your seascape, It makes a wonderful looking mat.
Just one thing is that this report may be better in the AARs thread.
If you let me know I will move it for you.
Rob.

Glad you enjoyed the scenario Jerome.
Just a couple of things, you ar aware that there is no damage for collisions with enemy ships ?
The collision damage is a rule that is meant to stop friendly collisions by making the captains keep the correct distsnces, enemy collisions will only give the chance of rigging fouling and the possability of grappling for boarding.
I know you have had a couple of discussions already for collisions but just wanted to point this out .
Did you manage to board and capture the VIP or was he killed ?

Thanks Chris. I haven't come across boarding rules yet. Just through the standard rules.

Rob - move as appropriate... sorry.

I have made up a document with a "Sequence of Play" for both Standard and Advanced rules which you are welcome to. PM me your email and Ill send you the documents. Then you can see if of use for you.

There you go Jerome. All ship shape and Bristol fashion.
Rob.

Well done Jerome. Do you fancy a go at any of the other 2016 scenarios? Please feel free and post them ni the 2016 section.

Union Jack

I plan to try some with my new additions to the collection. I also want to add some accessories but need to get a list together and ordered.

Good game! I enjoyed reading your aar. You should try some of the other solo missions from the campaign, they are very well written.

Welcome aboard, Mr. Weisen, nicely fought.
