    Default Penobscot Scenario

    The second-biggest naval defeat for the American navy was the Penobscot expedition. It was only exceeded by Pearl Harbor. During this battle, the largest ever American fleet assembled, including the newly commissioned 36 gun frigate, U.S.S. Warren, and were brushed away by the British fleet, under the command of George Collier and his flagship, HMS Raisonnable, a 64 gun ship of the line. She was the first ship Horatio Nelson had served on. Paul Revere, yes, that same "one if by land" guy, was in charge of fleet artillery and was courtmartialed for cowardice (later exonerated). SOG is a perfect product for this engagement. What say you?

    I'd love to see some more historical scenarios acted out in sog. The only one I've seen so far is the Nile.

    And yes, I'd love to see some of those in person, or better yet, be involved!

    Right chaps. There is the challenge.
    I think we must look for a little action or two.
    Did someone not mention the Great Lakes not so long ago?
