Rob,
I also did the muddle through thing when I started playing. But now after a couple of years not playing & trying to introduce others to the game it is becoming more difficult. I wanted to...
I've had the fortune to play a few games of Sails of Glory over the last month. But I am struggling with finding the right rules to play a specific level of play.
Juggling between pages to figure...
Sorry for this late response, one trick I learned is to use fall foliage clusters rather than green. Any chipping off of foam shows as yellow or orange rather than green.
Just watched it yesterday. For me it was informative, I was unaware of the failed grand scheme to have the French and Spanish fleets combine in the Caribbean and then head directly to the English...
I think you would be better off replacing the masts and yards with a set from another manufacturer. If you are assembling them from pieces, you could do them at an angle. Can't even imagine the...
Creating 3 SKUs should not be a concern as they already have one SKU for the Constitution. If necessary, add the HMS President as a third card to one of the packs. If you want to use it, swap the...
I have made ships so I can reflag them. I cut off the current flag with flush cutters. Drill a whole in it with a pin vise. Insert flags on steel rods and change them as I need.
Sorry for your loss Richard, you have my severest condolences.
The US did not standardize paint scheme until after the War of 1812. It seems the US ships began mixing white lead into the traditional yellow ochre paint making for a lighter color. Eventually...
Amazing as always! I can't believe the crew. Are they scratch built or commercial?
Yes but Mitochondrial DNA is only passed on from the mother to the offspring. The lack of Scandinavian female carried DNA only proves most of the Vikings weren't female. If Viking males came and...
Yeah, looks like a nice idea priced way to high. The personalized options are $37 for a personalized Brigade or HQ with your name on it. $37 for a small scrap of wood with a little paint and a...
I don't have inside info that Santa Ana is one of the named ships, but she is the first and most famous of the los Meregildos 112 gunners mentioned as Wave 3. She was Alava's flagship at Trafalgar....
That is the Santa Ana, one of the 112 gun class that will be out in Wave 3. The Santisma Trinidad also started as a 112 gun ship before the expansion to merge the quarter deck and forecastle into a...
It would, I suspect it will share a hull with the Trinidad which would be released as a special ship later.
19891
The Trinidad is a lot heavier, but if they add a piece to the hull to close the...
I am pretty certain the plan is delivering them in June, but wouldn't be the first time a product didn't make it on time. But last fall the timeline was looking at February delivery so June may be...
Rob,
I just happened upon a similar document for the HMS Pallas Frigate!

Herkybird, I just printed a bunch of the ones with the old font yesterday. :shock:
That's been part of the difficulty in my research, their vessels were a hodge podge and nobody really cared to document them to the satisfaction of 21st Century gamers that want to model them!
I...
I bet they will be helpful in protecting the masts by providing some support.
I don't think we'd need maneuver decks as a ship of the same class would have the same deck. But I would love to get ship logs and base cards for more ships. It would allow a big expansion of the...
I just saw an update on Boardgame Geek
Thanks Nahart.
That looks way more conventional than most of the modern drawings and miniatures of xebecs.
Coog,
Thanks for that reference. I was able to find online access to it through one of my alma maters' university library. I read those sections and some more this evening and found some good...
That is why I am hoping someone on here has had that lucky find on the web or is well versed enough to find sources I can't. There was probably a wide mix of Mediterranean style hulls and more...
