Thank you kindly for asking.
I wonder whether they will use the old manufacturing (molds?) or have to create new ones, in which case correct the scale of Constitution and the Spanish ships...
Hi Dobbs,
I'll offer to carry it across the pond if someone in the UK wants it but can't afford the shipping and you don't have any buyers this side... I make trips to see the family every 3 months...
As historical context, I thought the Anchorage might like this story about the unread letters seized by the British from captured vessels over the years:
The article describing the matter:...
I think since Broke's training emphasised accuracy which increased the chances of hits, perhaps return zeroes and redraw, although this is a big advantage. It's essentially the 'Good Aim' card but as...
I thought the Anchorage might appreciate this discussion over on FB. It discusses traversing of guns to achieve oblique fire and the gunnery innovations of HMS Shannon, as well as some anecdotes from...
I deleted my earlier post so as not to interfere with the flow of the battle, but repeat here that this is a terrific engagement and a great photographic story. Thanks for posting, a real treat. ...

Thanks

Hi everyone, thanks for the great info and input.
Sven, yes I had thought there was something missing about the movement and base size until I realised the problem. Measurement of movement from the...
Thanks so much, very kind!
Thanks Rob. I'll look into the perspex bases over here. Would you be able to share the name of the model suppliers? I have family in the UK for distance procurement :happy:
First importance, hope you make a Speedy recovery Rob, COVID is a kicker.
I'd like to ask advice from the Forum please. I'm considering alternate and much narrower bases for my fleets, mostly...
That's great to see, thanks so much for posting.
Great AAR, thank you for posting. These make a great coffee break read and I really appreciate the multiple photos showing the progress. The fort scenario is pretty nice setup and model. What size...
60" x 100" tablecloth from Amazon for $30. Abstract wave pattern (Jacquard). Covers two folding tables for a 5ft by 6ft game area with a foot on either end to pull to create more 'ocean' as ships...
Meeplemart up in Canada has been showing the Ares mats in stock for a while and at a good price.

Thank you! I'll tell the missus and treat myself to an extra ration of grog

Great story. It wasn't clear, the breeze allowed them to position astern and rake them for 20 minutes... they must have stayed in position with the oars? Never heard of anyone rowing into position...
I signed myself up for a weeks voyage on the STS Leeuwin from Albany to Esperance in WA, years ago when I had knees. I made it to the upper foresail top. It was more sea sick when I got back to solid...
