    Default A Christmas letter to Santa

    Dear Santa,

    For Christmas this year I'd like to see Ares release a new set of ships including the following:

    • HMS Speedy - 14 gun sloop
    • Gamo - Spanish 32 gun Xebec


    • The Horrible Old Leopard - 50 gun two decker
    • USS Chesapeake - American 38 gun frigate


    • HMS Agamemnon - 64 gun
    • Santísima Trinidad - the 140 gun Spanish beast


    • Galleys, Gun Boats, and small merchant/privateer vessels.
    • Bomb vessels and fire ships.
    • Big East India Merchants.


    Hope you have a Merry Christmas. I'll leave the cookies in the usual place.

    -Scourge

    Greetings Michael and welcome aboard the Anchorage.

    I'll add my support for your Christmas letter to Santa. I'd send my own, but I'm sure he thinks I'm a complainer and would likely ignore it.

    Yes I wouldnt mind seeing the Chesapeake, though I would rebadge her for after the duel with HMS Shannon.
    Could you ask Santa to maybe seeing his way to add the 90 gun 2nd rate HMS Temeraire . Pretty please :)

    I'm pretty sure we'll get the Horrible Old Leopard with the upcoming wave 3. At least it's the first ship coming to my mind when hearing 50-gunner.

    Anyway, your wishes are of quite noble nature!

    Oh, and yes, welcome aboard!

    What a good Christmas list Michael, and welcome to the Anchorage.
    See you in the Wardroom for a spot of Virtual Port later.
    Bligh.

    That is a good list, Michael, but any new release will be welcome.

    Michael, I think you voice the desires of many here.

    I would like the ability to run different types of scenarios, and not similar scenarios with different navies. I, too, rather not have to collect a fleet of non-Ares ships to do so.

    My Christmas list would be good health to you all. I also hope you get some of your listed ships in your Christmas stockings. Or a good wave 3.
    Be safe
