Who's doing next month?
That is an unkind thing to say about Commander Data...
That is an extremely diverse crew you have there. But 6 senior officers on such a small ship?! You stretch reality too far!
It seems very quiet in here suddenly.
Who is doing next months mission?
Who is responsible for this months?
Thanks for the rep!
I don't have much spare time to spend with my kids at the moment and now that I have three of them I makes sure to spend some time with each of them individually at the weekends. Hugh likes tabletop...
Just played a game against my 8 year old son. He beat me!

Who's going to play a game this weekend? Anyone else going to jump in to the 2017 missions?
Has the March mission been finalized?

Has anyone read this?

Let's see if we can break last years record!
Where'd the forum go all weekend?
I was trying to get a picture of how a cannon ball would fair against the USS constitutions side at our, and show how I did it so you can tell me where I'm wrong.
If I'm right, then it's a close...
Ill give it a try
Force = Perimeter of impact area x Thickness of material x material shear strength
T = 0.530m
S= 10~11MPa based on properly prepared white oak timber
Now to work out P

Yes, it does seem a bit far fetched. It shouldnt be too hard to calculate it though with a little research.
Interesting, im suprised that the penetration was that close honestly.
And WOW! The planks on HMS Victory were 3/4 of a meter thick!?
Months almost over! Who is going to get their game in this weekend?
That's a solid idea. And it makes sense since the energy from the powder will be used on two balls rather than one, so largely reduced muzzle velocity.
As the custom ai rules currently try to get ships as close as possible, I think starting all AI ships with double shot makes sense. That gives the player more incentive to maintain range, which is...
I just got my wave 3 ships in!
Gosh the Artesien is a good looking ship isnt it!
The ai tends to want to get up close and personal. I wish there was a way to get it to maintain distance. I wonder if any of our rules makers could figure that out.
Just a thought, but are there any rules about firing broadsides while boarding? I can't think of any. If the boarding action last long enough then is there any reason you can't issue a reload and...
For my next game I'm going to not use it and see how it goes. (If I have any ships left afterwards)
