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.
Congratulations also go to you sir.

Me thinks that Argo appears to have been recently promoted as well and is now rated as Midshipman.

I am honoured, Admiral!
And I am looking forward to the opportunity of hopefully adding some daring deeds next Sunday to my many words.

Capital Mr Bush.
I await your battle Dispatches with high expectation from a young officer who has already made such a mark for himself, with two Bronze medals to his name, after less than two months service since being assigned to the Fleet.

Congratulations, Mr Bush!
There's preserverence! Well done Eric.
Thanks. That also means that SoG has been out for ten years!There's preserverence! Well done Eric.
Whenever a ten year anniversary comes along I can't help but be reminded of a classic tune:
"You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death."
Very poignant Eric, although the Sun is also technically another day nearer to death too.
It is also true that the actual game started a bit earlier than that, and our Ten years started with the opening of the Anchorage by the Royal Hajj on Wednesday, November 23, 2011. Those who joined in that first year were granted the same medal as your own but with the addition of a Fouled Anchor attached to the ribbon. Nevertheless the honour is still very prestigious and you are the very first recipient of this medal.

The Kickstarter was in 2013 though or at least my spreadsheets are dated to 2013, which is why I mentioned it. The rule book is copyrighted 2013. Perhaps you are thinking of earlier play testing?Very poignant Eric, although the Sun is also technically another day nearer to death too.

Also, I am approaching retirement and thinking it is time to get back to more actual sailing again before time runs short, which of course brings up the Floyd lines!
As you can see Eric my own membership dates from Nov 2011 and I was not involved in the play testing.

Right but I meant the game itself was not released until 2013. The final game components were shown at Essen Spiel October 2013 and the Kickstarter backers received their items later in the fall. Royal Hajj may have set up this forum well before the public release of the game. The game was in development for quite a while. I was confused so I verified my recollection on the Ares website.
So, the 10-year anniversary of the release will be later this year.
I don't expect that Keith will want to release another medal for that Eric.
These are just related to the Anchorage itself, like the founder members medals.

Oh no you misunderstand, I wasn't thinking about medals for that, I just wanted to point out that this year coincides with the 10th anniversary of the release of the game!
Now running a 10th anniversary game of SoG this fall would certainly be appropriate!
Cheers
What a great idea Eric. We could even dedicate our Copenhagen fight at Doncaster at the end of September to the anniversary. Do you have any shws over your side of the pond at about the same time?

Just read your Cold Wars post Eric, so I guess that answers my question.
I will leave that one with your good self.
