Once again an action that proves the importance of getting in that first broadside without a reply.
Good show Richard.
Rob.
French victory. :salute:
Its about time our French friends had a victory, RN supremacy is too much a given!Quote:

It is such an intriguing idea for me. I don't know what it says about my character, but if I have a friend across the gaming table, my first suggestion is that we try and blow each other up, not work together....
I will have to give this AI a try.
Whilst I am teaching Captain Kiwi a new rule or strategy we normally play against AI. That gives me more time to show him the tricks of the trade. if we are playing a normal game we take opposite sides either with AI partners or not as we see fit.
Rob.
Yes, Phil still has trouble remembering the rules at times and is not confident moving in relation to the wind, that is where the AI is a good opponent, as Mr Bligh says!
In this game, the AI rolled some extreme results at the beginning, which gave us the advantage. It doesn't always act so kind!
We often play multi players against the AI for an easy game, or to even up a game if we have 3 players, the AI plays the extra ship.
Another nice report there Richard, thanks for posting.
I dont use frigates often, I always find the British a bit flimsy with the Amazons having a burden of two.
Cheers! Yes, I always think Burden is under costed, as it really makes ships more survivable in a fire-fight, especially at long range. At shorter range, those orange chits have more big damage chits, making burden less significant.Quote:

Thanks for the insights into the AI, guys.
As I have mentioned elsewhere, to even things out with the Amazons, I have increased their Burden to 3 since historically they are roughly the same tonnage as the Concordes. I also switched their decks, making the Concordes the faster of the two classes. That gives the French the speed advantage and the British a slight broadside advantage. Here's a list of changes I've made:

Very well described and the photos are great. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I have seen your comments elsewhere Dobbs, I just not got around to redoing my mats and ship cards as yet. But like that ideaQuote:

Rob.
Were do I find the AI rules? It strikes me that there were two different options?
Richard, Herkybird has a set of Solo movement rules which we use if that is what you mean Dobbs.
Rob.
Thanks, Rob, that was what I meant. I found them on his website and downloaded them. They look interesting and well thought out. I shall give them a try.Quote:
