AAR. Captain Kiwi finds his sea legs.
The good captain prepares for two Firsts.
His first battle with the new starter set he just purchased, and his first game trying the AI rules of Herkybird.
Attachment 20805
Dutch Courage.
He will need it because Bligh is running the AI.
Attachment 20806
The two squadrons square up for battle.
Attachment 20803
Attachment 20804
The British and Kiwi hold the wind gauge as the Squadrons close.
Attachment 20807
Damn, double shot a cable length too short.
Attachment 20808
Kiwi's Frigate Captain takes it on.
Attachment 20809
And makes a pretty good fist of it, but gets a hammering from the Spanish 74.
Attachment 20810
As he turns away he has another go with his stern chaser.
Firing from the tops exchanges a few casualties.
Attachment 20811
Double shotted again Kiwi now gets in on the action.
Attachment 20812
Again some firing from the tops.
Attachment 20813
Position is everything.
Only fire from the tops available this time.
Attachment 20815
Note the remains of the battered British Frigate doing a runner in the background.
Attachment 20814
He makes it off the table.
Attachment 20816
Left alone,things look black for Cpt Kiwi.
Until a sudden mistake by the Captains of the Spanish 74s who run aboard each other with dire consequences.
Attachment 20817
Suddenly reduced dramatically in points, they can only run as the good Captain bears down upon them, and will soon be positioned for a stern rake.
It was so dramatic, that we actually forgot to photo the huge damage done by the collision.
The Butcher's bill will tell it all.
Bligh.
