Brilliant reenactment, Rob. :salute:
Thank you for this historical based scenario.
Thank you for the Rep my dear Comte. If you can make Doncaster next year, I'm hoping that you will do me the honour of commanding the French Fleet in the Action.
Rob.
That brought a tear to the eye of that old French sea dog Jean le Vagabond, I'll drink a glass of the 98 brandy in honour of those brave French sailors.
Excellent game Rob, easy to follow the action, even if painfull at times to see the force of the British gunnery which at times was so extraordinarily damaging to the elegant French ships.
I know the French were tacking in this photo but I wonder if they could have crossed the T of the British line rather than tack and follow a reciprocal path. Would that have been a possible option or were you trying to be as close to history as a re-enactment can be? Either way, excellent game.
I like what you've done with rounding out the corner of the table, it always jars with me when I look at my pictures and see a square corner, I've been thinking about doing something similar and yours looks very good.
Cheers
I didn't capture the picture, it was at 15:35.
Thanks for the ships cards and yes the frigates caused a lot of damage and the French gunnery was poor apart from 1 broadside ( think).
Hi John.
Good to hear from the old Vagabond again. Firstly thanks for the rep, and the comment. I followed the actual battle line until it became impossible to comply because of the Scipion being in the way and then went onto the AI for the French with a lot of A. If they had not got all those fire cards they would have made a better fist of it.
Rob.
Here is the next of the British ships.

Rob I don't know if it's my internet connection being slow but I can't see any of the later pictures you've posted.
Cheers
Where does the problem start John?
Rob.
Same for me.
Can you see HMS Courageux now chaps.
If so I will amend the others, but it may take a day or so because it is a bit of a rigmarole to do.
Rob.
Courageux shows fine here!
This is a good "bite-size" mixed engagement; I've tried to suggest Ares look at it as a small-scale developmental model for working toward The Big One.
Goodon all fronts DB. it would be great to see that come to pass. Also, now I know why the pictures failed I can get the others put back.
Thanks for the feedback.
Rob.

Hopefully you can all now see the full set of ships cards.
Rob.
thanks a lot, now it works for me.
That's good to hear Lankin. I now know how to avoid that one in future.
Rob.
Rob they all work for me now.
Thanks for rectifying it, does this mean you can post pictures normally now or are you still 1 post at a time?
Cheers
The failure to post viewable pictures was my feeble attempt to rectify the problem John. I'm afraid I am back to having to post and then save the attatchment in order for the pictures to show up. I could see them fine but obviously no one else could.
Rob.
