A small diversion.

[Bligh]

or The sacrificial lamb.

Here was a little game which I played against Captain Kiwi a couple of weeks ago when we had a spare morning.




The plot was to lure a rampaging French Frigate which was preying on merchant traffic into a trap with the Armed merchant ship Rose used a a sacrificial lamb. It happened that this was not the way things turned out at all, as will be explained to you anon.




The Spanish fort at this time of the war was an allied one and thus the Anglo American force expected the French to steer well clear of it.

Andy opted to play the French.

The best laid plans are only good until the first shot!............ to be continued.

Bligh.
