Ahoy, there. Now, splice the mainbrace!

:g&t:

Greetings all, I'm Chanfan/Michael E. I just snuck into the Kickstarter after watching it for a long time, largely via BoardGameGeek.

I have a long history of Napoleonic interest, and Age of Sail in specific. So, plenty familiar with the period in both non-fiction and fiction (mainly Hornblower/Forrester, Aubrey/O'Brian for the nautical fiction). Also have plenty of prior gaming experience with various board games on the topic (Wooden Ships & Iron Men, Close Action, Flying Colors, 1805: Sea of Glory), and various computer games as well.

Looking forward to it - and imagine I'll be diving right into the advanced game.

Welcome aboard!

OT: Do I know you from another board, say Fedora Lounge?

Yes, I am on Fedora Lounge - although I've been a very infrequent visitor (and even less frequent poster) of late. Small world!

Welcome aboard Michael!

Ditto, amigo--got cross-threaded with a few people over an unfortunate misunderstanding and general failure to communicate. The Lounge just ain't the same place as it was when I joined... one, there just isn't as much to learn; two, most of my friends from the old days have either moved on or moved into "former friends" and three, the place just got stuffy--not as "fun" of an atmosphere, like somebody threw a wet blanket over everything.

Everybody, be nice to my old shipmate here, or I'll have to run up the Black Flag... LOL

Welcome aboard Michael. :salute:

Welcome from Illinois, Michael.

Ahoy and welcome!

Welcome to the Anchorage, Michael.

Hello! Can you see Mt. Rainier from you house? :happy:

Nope, just the Cascades. Mt. Rainier I can only see from the freeway on the way into Seattle, on clear days - "when the mountain is out", as it's put locally.

Thanks for the welcomes!

Howdy Michael:beer: Welcome from Arizona.
