    Firstly welcome to the Anchorage on behalf of the Shipmates based here.
    You will find many knowledgeable folks ready to answer any of your questions about the game and the period in general. Remember that the only stupid question is the one that you don't ask.
    May you sail with a fair wind and a willing foe.
    Rob.
    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.

    You are welcome Pete. Just watch out for Grebo, he is the ship's cat.

    Owing to those fetish French cheese eaters cutting down the clacks, I’ve not been live for ages. Just got a new password sent, and here I be. (arrgg Jim lad). This weekend, after nearly 2 years, I finally opened up my sails of glory and played the first ever game with no 3 son. Tab learning curve, but hope to move on up the rules this weekend.
    Its not a train set but a micro engineered precision detailed transport system.

    If you ever get stuck like that again Pete, just send me a message as a visitor to the site with the new password you require and I will sort you out the new password and then let you know it is active.

    Well, welcome to you, Sir, from a fetish French cheese eater that would be honoured to share some of the best he has in stock with a good Southern coastal French wine for, I guess, these are two things you are lacking of in England.

    Hi Chris.
    How are you doing this week?
    Will you spill the beans to Pete about Tim and the Frog pills or shall I?
