Have you checked out my more historically accurate sailing angles base cards? I'll send you a base card this evening for Albany but it will make a big difference whether you want the one comparable to the regular game or the more accurate (she'd sail like a bale of hay against the unmodified cards using my tweaked cards).Originally Posted by jasonb
Actually, I can just send one of each, along with a ship log.
For schooners and the like, i would definitely use Dobbs modified base cards. They should be adopted by Ares if they ever get around to the smaller vessels. These are what I use for my ships which are not square riggers.
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.
I have no idea what that means.
I have the schooner base cards, just not sure what to do with hull, gunnery, and crew.
Oops, I forgot I posted those. Those are the correct ones if using the base cards for square riggers that came with SoG.I have no idea what that means.

Unmodified, the SoG base cards allow the ships to sail closer to the wind than they would have been able to historically.
Square riggers wouldn't have been able to sail within 60 degrees of the wind, and schooners 45. My alternative cards reflect that and shouldn't be mixed with the stock cards or someone gets an unfair advantage.
