    Default Fleet pictures?

    Are there any thread where there are pictures of several ships together?

    I'd like to see if people have any good pictures that give a mass effect. A line of ships or such.

    It's hard to take a good picture of a battle line with my crummy camera

    Before Christmas we had a pretty good big fleet battle--I wouldn't say the pictures were any good, but there are a lot of ships in frame...

    I like it, even though the camera wasn't perfect. I have quite a few ships but have never played any big battles. It's interesting to see if there's any way to recognise ships from afar and to look at the impressive lines of ships.

    Fred, you should link Jonas to the thread with the Battle of the Nile photos? I think that qualifies for what he might be looking for?

    Good point! I think that may be the biggest historical battle fought with SGN yet (a record that will be broken in May with Dave's Glorious First battle)

    Just for comparison using the Flying Colors game system, folks at BBG Con used SoG ships to fight Cape Henry. That still doesn't beat out the Nile, but looks cool just the same.

    Jonas, here are some threads posted by Sven from Origins 2014. Sven was able to join us from Germany; his presence was the highlight of the convention.

    ...
    A real good time and an honour for me to meet so many friendly and dedicated SoG/WoG gamers in person.

    I hope we'll see another "Lineup" at Origins 2015, my friend.

    This was really an highlight.

    We will post some pictures for you, Sven. You will definitely be missed, mein Freund.

    It will be nice to meet Neil; I know the WoG tables will be abuzz.

    Chris, I am afraid to ask, but would that constitute a stern rake? Just trying to flush out the meaning of your picture.

    Well, it definitely results in a pillaging of one's rear areas. >:)

    There are some people that should insert the 'Fleet' between their ears. Maybe starting with Chicago politicians.
