I could not help but notice that the release of the Sails products has slipped back yet another month.
Rob.
I realise its only August, but looking at the list, thats no models released this year for Wings or Sails this year.
Yes there is the new Tripods but at this time cant see us getting before Xmas, hope I am wrong.
But as we spoke about, looking at the list of Ares games we will be lucky to see another wave release for a few years.
Again hope I am wrong.
On a different not would you mind sending me your file of the Struck, Captured and Surrendered markers please
Hi Chris.
hope we are wrong about this but can't see anything on the horizon.
I will forward you the files but do check the sizes after what we also said about the printers/ computer problem.
Rob.

The French open their account by raking Captain Kiwis 74.

Not so bad this time but the British still can't get to grips with the long range antics of the French.
Attachment 39290
At last we have one cornered!

Rob.
Strange cant see any of the pics Rob, just name img views and size :(
I am sorry, Rob, but I cannot see your pictures, either.
I can. Very nice battle.
Not really showing how it all ended but I can guess anyway from who fired in the last picture.
I will get Mrs Bligh to have a look on her laptop.
Rob.
Still no joy seeing your pics on my ipad, ill try my pc
still same using my laptop using win10 edge
Eileen can see the pics on her ipad Chris but they are not coming up full screen size.
Rob.
well here is a coumdrum, I cant see the pics on my ipad, nor my win 10 laptop but can see using my trusty old xp desktop
nice pics Rob, ill try and get mine posted up this week
Here are the afternoon selection.
Game two.
Attachment 39313
Spanish vs English gets underway with a slight advantage to the Spanish.
Attachment 39314
Beleraphon gets in a long range raking shot.
Attachment 39315
Following some close quarters action Montanez strikes.
Attachment 39316
Next Beleraphon gets a drubbing from a ship just out of shot at the bottom of the picture.
Attachment 39318
The next action sees Captain Kiwi strike.
Attachment 39317
In a further heated exchange St Francis strikes to Beleraphon, having been softened up for the kill by Captain Kiwi.
The final Spanish ship flees the action. (Actually the captain has to leave, but we hope he will join us on Sails in the future as he did stop for both games.)
Game three to follow.
Rob.
I had the same issues that I have had before, and signed out, at which time I was able to see the smaller versions. When I signed back in, I could see the larger versions.
Hmm, but this time I had to click on a picture while logged out for it to work. It asked me to log in, and the pictures were there in the big form.
Well Dobs followed your method, logged out of site, saw the small pics, so clicked on , asked to log in and hey presto all now seen, what a palava
I have no idea what has caused this problem Chris. If you are sending a PM to Keith about your Files, you may also care to mention this.
Rob.
Game three.
A quick game at the end of the afternoon in which Chris taught me a lot about the stand off and cause attrition method.
Attachment 39330
Chris explains his tactics to a would be punter.
Attachment 39331
The Master class opens with a mutual long range exchange of compliments.
Attachment 39332
Captain Don Christoph deftly maneuvers out of my range.
Attachment 39333
Then comes about and broadsides me at long range.
Attachment 39334
Managing to close I get the better of the exchange this time although already weakened by long range sniping.
Attachment 39335
Don Christoph delivers yet another nonreturnable salvee.
Attachment 39336
My devastated ship finally gets off a token reply, but the damage is already done.
Attachment 39337
One last exchange and then the walk of shame for Bligh.:surrender:
Attachment 39338
Well done Chris and thanks for organizing yet another superb day at Partizan.
I am sorry, Rob, but I cannot see the last batch of photographs, either.
Have you tried Dobbs' solution Dave?
Rob.
More nice pics, initially couldnt see but logged out, clicked on a thumbnail and logged back in and there they were.
Glad you enjoyed the day, I certainly did
Yes Chris.
Had a great day.
No idea what is causing the glitch, and as I'm off to duff up the Royalists from today until Monday i will have to leave you all with the conundrum I'm afraid.
Rob.
Dobbs solution worked but it should not be necessary.
