    I like the oil rig aide, might be a nice item for the Anchorage store! Fitting result in the battle, over confident commanders

    Nice AAR & pictures, David!

    Great Naval action and the used space for this game is impressive!

    The report is vague -- what-all went wrong?

    I love the use of the attached tables to assist with the approach of the two columns. Wicked cool idea!

    David, this was awesome. It has always been a dream of mine to recreate Trafalgar in this scale. I have not made it yet, only with the 1/2400 Figurehead ships.
    Space was a huge issue, but you have solved that problem with the use of the Additional offset tables. All ships are accessible.

    What a sight, with so many excellent models as well.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Very nice indeed.

    I especially like the use of smoke as a marker for firing, and the "oil rig" makes a very clear wind attitude indicator.

    How long did the game take to play?

    Started at 11am, ENDEX at 1600, but we did have a long lunch break and we weren't hurrying. I've done Trafalgar with these rules before on a club night.
