Great to be back!
What would be really sweet is if the 3D prints could be colored like the planes made for WoG! Ares could get a percentage on every licensed print and there could be a multitude of different ship...
That being said, I favor 'style of' rather than a specific ship. For instance, I like the more elaborate quarter windows on the French ship above for French ships. I like the rounded taffrails of...
You know, if Ares produces the paper products and licenses a designer to make 3D ships, it's a win for everyone.
Interesting, I noticed in #2 that apparently Mr Lavery counts the ports on both sides of the foredeck of the French ship, but only on one side for everything else. :shock:
I like what Henry did, and may pursue them more in the future, but my interest at the moment is the Ares Spanish 74. I'm interested in what the galleries look like and overall pictures compared to...
I agree with you, Paul. I for one am happy that the Anchorage is not going to disappear altogether. I've been wondering about that for years as active membership decreased.
That's a good proposal, DB!
I sure would like a Meregildos if Ares made one to scale with the other 1st rates. I like the Ares miniatures best over the 3D printed ones. The 3D ones are great, but maybe too great for gameplay,...
Is there any idea when the site scuppering will happen?

The adversaries are peculiarly cautious.

I decided to upgrade my Soloplay System and test the new variation against the old.

The British are using the old, the Americans are using the new. Here, the gods of...
Do you need reservations?:takecover:
The package is sold!
I don't know anything about it. Apparently it is a discounted shipping provider that uses USPS and UPS. Hawkeye suggested it.
I have a potential taker for $20 at the moment, Hawkeye/Rory. I'll keep you informed.
Has anyone ever heard of Pirateship for shipping?
The stuff has gotten a short reprieve, but the clock is definitely ticking. Unless someone wants it, the Solo Stove is calling...
It seems that Admiral Rodney is saying that a particular weapon can throw a particular ball X distance. Does he say anything about at what range it becomes practical to aim?
David, just to clarify, are you saying that sailors of the time considered a range of 4 football fields to be musketshot or perhaps even pistolshot?
Regardless of the power of a period gun...
At a range of 1 cable (600 feet), 1 degree of arc covers roughly 10 feet. Therefore if you held your hands out in front of you with the pointing fingers...
I have played AI against AI as well. I designed the system to want to hang between short and long range, so collisions are reduced.
Good observation, John. The standard combat rulers are 15cm (6...
Once a side is reduced, the owning player must take any numerical hit chits as their choice of flooding, rudder, or mast hits. If both sides are lost, the vessel is settling. We don't remove it. It...
John, I didn't cross off the last box of gunnery on either side (sloppy record keeping). Damage is taken on the side hit. One side can only take a Burden of damage from a single chit. Any further...
I completely forgot about the uniform battery ships. That might be an interesting encounter, one of them vs. a 74 or something. The 64 gets one or two turns where it can reload in one turn because...
