Cheers! Yes, I always think Burden is under costed, as it really makes ships more survivable in a fire-fight, especially at long range. At shorter range, those orange chits have more big damage...
Yes, Phil still has trouble remembering the rules at times and is not confident moving in relation to the wind, that is where the AI is a good opponent, as Mr Bligh says!
In this game, the AI rolled...
Its about time our French friends had a victory, RN supremacy is too much a given!
Thanks for the kind comments mes amis!
We got to be French today, and had a fun little action!
The report is on my blog at THIS LINK

I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for the kind comments, I hope we will get more games in soon! 'What a Tanker' has been pushing it to the sidelines recently!!!
We had a game of Sails at our club today before our August break, It was good to be back at sea again!
The write up of the game is on my blog at this link...
As I understand it, you put a damage marker in the special damage box, then at the start of each subsequent turn (until the fire is extinguished) - you fill a fresh box with a fire marker, and shift...
Yes, my sympathy to all those affected, and thanks to the excellent emergency services. I hope this is the last such attack we suffer, though sadly, I doubt it. :cry:
I come from near Manchester, and often visited the area affected by this terrorist attack. My thoughts too are with all those affected, and with the emergency services still trying to make things...
I always wondered if firing a full broadside, and splitting the total chits randomly between the 2 targets might not be a bad way to go if shooting at 2 targets, or use the rear shooting arc total,...
I will have to look at the charts, but envision the 74 chart will work well enough. I found in one game I used the 74 chart for frigates and never noticed!!!
I am looking forward to getting at least one of each of this wave, I have to save for WGF, X-Wing, Imperial Assault too! - so first come, first served! :minis:
Hi all, I have tweaked the solo rules to match what I think all of us who use it are already doing, in that it now allows the solo ship to shoot from its forward arc.
The rules can be downloaded...
Thanks Rob! (Blush!) :embarass:
Great report, thanks! Nice to see those pesky colonials getting a good load of damage!
Yes, it lasted less time than it took to set the game up! Such is the luck of the chits!
I know this has been mooted here before, but do you think USS Constitution is a little over-rated in Sails of Glory?
Over the weekend, I had a quick go at Sails again, pitting 2 38 gun frigates against the Constitution, historically it was in early 1814, when Constitution was sighted by two British 38 gun frigates...
I would think you could use a system I have been considering?
Firstly, all ships use battle sail, but if a squadron is in line, they use the card of the slowest ship in the line.
Damage is...
Yes, I thought one of the Hebe class would have done more damage than Hermione! :takecover:
Thanks, the line cut was amazing, the solo system timed it perfectly somehow!, usually the die result would have sent Hermione along the side of our line.
Perhaps the post should be renamed 'Revenge...
We actually got a quick game of Sails at our club today!
3 Frigates a side, against the solo system of course!

Happy New Year to one and all! May the seas be easy, the temperature temperate and the wind always at your aft beam! :drinks:
Cunning plan? -- ok Baldric! :wink:
