More games than time available there, to be sure :thumbsup:

Lovely ship; thanks for sharing.
Top sail schooners were built to have the best of both sailing profiles: schooner-rigged and ship-rigged.
I sailed on a schooner similar to this (no...
I'll go with 30-APR-14; getting ready for May Day.

For economy, go with the poly-cotton then. I've gotten good results. If your sewing, and intend to fly it, look or ask your contacts about reverse applique. Tricky with lighter fabrics, but again,...
But not in the USA. Mirror mirror :wink:

One I was reminded of the other day (don't ask how).
On a t-shirt back (and I wasn't able to see the front to find out what store it was advertising for):
"If all you are is guts and no brain,...
Several thoughts come to mind.
As a preface, I have made over 150 banners, ensigns and flags for use in my SCA hobby; applique, painted and a mix.
The easiest would probably be painted cloth. I...
You should check out Jethro Tull's Christmas Album. Some songs there for you :wink:
Karl
Great song and video, but the "short (PC) version. One of the local radio stations plays this short version; a Cleveland station plays the complete one.

Then we can turn Sampans into junk(s) :wink:

I agree that Ares will be expanding AoS for several years. Elizabethan would be great next. Ancients would be a good next era.

Well IIRC, more than one British Naval officer called us a "Nation of Bloody Pirates" :sly:

Interesting set of wars from a naval perspective.
Just from this excerpt, I found that the Dutch convoy (presumably lightly escorted) was safe after the Straits of Dover a bit puzzling. No English...
:thumbsup:
I would say that has a lot to do with it, though most could be cross-over 'Dromers, Ohio having a very active WoG population.
But so often we are, Tommy. And this time of year, I'd rather be...
Interesting report. Once again points out the global nature of the Napoleonic Wars, that being a continuation of the global wars of the 18th cen.
This could make an interesting mini campaign.
Karl
Cheers, Eric. :rum:
A wonderful Thanksgiving to all in this SOGgy anchorage :wink:
And a happy Hanukkah as well.
Karl
I'd call it a draw, then.
Dual command :wink:
Karl
Also, it's Thanksgiving. Many businesses (not mine, though :dazed:) have off the whole weekend.
Karl
Agreed; the Great Lakes battles will almost certainly have to be home-brewed.
Karl
I bought the rules, and some of the army books; I have a couple of boxes of Airifix soldiers from an ill-fated Crossfire campaign to paint up.
As with Heмaњa, the issue is time :dazed:

Difficult to come up with a favorite, but here's two I've found over the years:
"Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons...
Ok, moving on.....
My handle comes from the name of a SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) household I belonged to;
we were members of a crew of late-Tudor period pirates (self-named "Aquatic...
A late thanks here, Ed; I've been thinking of looking for good images for paper soldiers to relieve my issues with painting backlog.
For those here that have used them for land battles, which looks...
