Greetings!
Great to have you at the Anchorage Christobal.
I can now formally welcome you on behalf of your new shipmates.
I am sure that they will be along to greet you when they dock.
May you sail with a fair wind and a willing foe.
Rob.
Greetings, Christobal! If you don't have many opponents, try my soloplay rules. Here's an example of how it works and a link to the rules.

Here is a shot of Cochrane's attack at Valdivia during our annual event at Doncaster, with a few Spanish ships added to the historical action just to make a game of it.

A bit of action around Castillo De Mancera.

Fort Corral takes a pounding.

And finally Castillo De Nebla capitulates.

Welcome to the great age of sail, mate !
Saludos desde Francia !
Such impressive pictures of your Chilean Navy, Rob. I'm not used to see ships displaying that very colourful flag. :thumbsup:
Thanks for the pictures Rob! Your Chilean Navy and the scale models of Mancera, Niebla and Corral are amazing. I've been in Mancera, a beautiful place. I'm pleasanty surprised that you and your friends have recreataed that historical battle, your annual event must be very funny.
I only have one doubt: did you buy the chilean ships? I mean if Ares made models of the O'Higgins and the others... or did you have to modify other ship packs? (painting the flag, printing the ship cards, etc.)
Thanks a lot Roméo!
Saludos desde Chile!
All the ships were converted from Ares models with as much research as I could find on them I have the research in paper form somewhere in my folders. I will look it out and photocopy it if you would like to see it. I will tell you more about Doncaster tomorrow. It is getting nearer to midnight over here in the UK.
Rob.
Perfect Rob! I would like to see your research! And please tell me if you need more info of chilean ships, I could try to investigate more about them.
Welcome aboard Christobal, I hope you enjoy being a member of this wonderful global community. I have a fleet of Chilean (and Peruvian) ships, although my interest is firmly settled in the 1870s. I was a visitor to your country in 1994 when one of our ships ran aground there. I was in Talcahuano for a month overseeing repairs, and had a chance to visit the ironclad Huascar which at the time was berthed very close to where we were living in the naval base. I regret I didn't get to see more of your lovely country.

A belated welcome to the Anchorage, Cristóbal. :salute:
Thanks a lot David! Nice experience you had, I still don't know the Huáscar yet, but I hope that changes soon. And I hope you can come back to Chile someday after COVID-19.
Thanks a lot Sven!
Thank you very much Rob! It's a great and very interesting research! And all your work of converting the Ares models it looks very elaborate and great.
Thanks Christobal.
Here are the rest of my squadron a bit more close up and personal.
