    Smile Hello and thanks for having me

    Hello all,

    I just discovered this forum and really glad I did! I bought sails of glory a year ago now and have only ever played solo or with my reluctant girlfriend . Hopefully now I have found this forum I might be able to find some players , I live in Essex UK and am happy to travel anywhere to play!

    All the best

    John

    On behalf of the sailors and Officers in the British Fleet, welcome to the Anchorage John.
    When you have stowed your dunnage, do join us in the Wardroom for a drop of Port.
    Bligh.
    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.

    Ahoy everyone!
    I have heard about this game a week ago or so. Already fell in love with it at first sight similarly like with Command & Colors: Napoleonics.
    After short contemplation about getting it or not (too expensive), and reading almost whole BGG forum, I have had decided and managed to order Starter set via amazon and should get it on Monday. \o/
    Also three additional ships from local market, HMS Queen Charlotte came on Thursday, so I had a chance to appreciate a fine miniature. Bellona & Bordeaux ordered today from only shop having sleeves for these cards.
    It's almost impossible to get SoG stuff from CZ/SK market...

    Anyway I am looking forward to playing this game finally. If you know of some guys playing in Brno/Prague or Slovakia SoG, point them to me please.
    I might be one of the first ones, as I haven't heard almost anybody playing it here. Same story like CC:Napoleonics.. :)

    Good to have you alongside Michal.
    Do drop by my State cabin for a drop of Madeira once you get your dunnage stowed.
