    Russians and Ottoman/Turks and I promise to never give Ares a hard time again.

    PS Lost count on my ships a long time ago.

    Having Dutch relatives, I keep feeling that I have a desire there which needs scratching after the Spanish are out.
    Then I look at what we did apart from Camperdown. Did the Dutch Fleet do any other large actions, or would I just be buying more ships to sit in harbour?

    I passed on the KS for some reason...
    Having played recently I have no idea what I was thinking.
    Luckily most of the ships I desired were still in stock but are getting harder to find.

    My collection is growing to 27 ships... More ships arriving this week (hopefully no delays)
    I wanted around 3 ships of each rate... Couldn't fit more than 6 ships on my table as of now.

    Considering a second core set... No reason other than I want a second large box and some ships for conversions.

    I was so impressed with the Orient conversion to the USS Pennsylvania I couldn't help myself and order 2.
    I will attempt a USS Pensylvania of my own.

    My intention is to add a wash and some general rigging to each model... But if I don't get to this, each model is very nice out of the box.

    Dogger Bank, maybe? I know more than just the French jumped onto the "you took our colonies now we're taking yours" dogpile in the AWI...

    Well Steve, I also passed on the KS too, even though I was a founder member of this site. I really just did not understand the concept of what KS was and have been kicking myself ever since.
    It will be great to see some pictures of your work when you get started on the conversions.
    please do keep us appraised of your progress.
    Rob.

    Having read this thread I went and counted. I'm not sure how I managed to buy so many and some haven't been out of their boxes yet...

    This is something I intend to try out at Doncaster next month using all my First and Third rates, should see nearly 40 vessels if I finish them in time

    Well I played my first game on Saturday (1st Oct) where I won the Pirate Treasure which included a ship, and the Game, for which I was awarded a certificate and two more ships.
    Today my first Starter set arrived,
    So, seven in the first three days,...
    365 divided by three then multiplied by seven, plus a second mortgage =
    .
    .
    .

    Good luck with your fleet. Even with a one or two ships the games are first class. Hopefully that won't result in two large a mortgage.

    Well, my inventory has seen it's first reduction--I had picked up a spare Constitution for an uncle who's a former squid, sent it off to him and my aunt for Christmas and it was a hit. (Afraid to try to get them into this, they're on limited budget and their "kids" are retired racing greyhounds, plus they live in a town way out in the middle of nowhere where old cops and their families go to be away from the world and take up fishing in retirement.)

    Need help Chris? O.K. I'll send you some more!

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Think I'm gonna sit Wave 3 out until we get some answers on the mis-scale and how they plan to Make Right. They blow Wave 4 and I'm going Pontius Pilate...

    I would be amazed if any changes came out of this

    You are going to build an aqueduct and kill any protesters?
