Echoes from the reply to this post from Admiral Bligh about his concerns on how the Francs were going to handle "Royal Sovereign". In his own words: "I would maybe have added a French First Rate to balance the Royal Sovereign, is all". Ok, the SoG compulsive buying itch invaded me again guys and I purchased Orient/Austerlitz to balance the equation (I hope). And once I was at the website I heard a voice whispering in my ear "get the HMS Victory too and sail for Aboukir Bay" wait, what? please repeat "get the HMS Victory and sail for Aboukir Bay". hm, ok, since I am very obedient the floating relic was added to the roster. So this is what we have now:

Great Britain

Sails of Glory: HMS Victory 1765 (1805)
Sails of Glory: HMS Royal Sovereign 1786 British S.O.L Ship Pack
Sails of Glory: Hamadryad 1797/HMS Mahonesa 1796
Sails of Glory: HMS Leopard 1790/HMS Isis 1774

France

Sails of Glory: Orient/Austerlitz 1791
Sails of Glory: Le Berwick 1795 French S.O.L Ship Pack
Sails of Glory: Commerce De Bordeaux 1784 French S.O.L Ship Pack
Sails of Glory: Proserpine 1785 French Frigate Ship Pack

Subject to point theory, the rating on each side is around 570 vs 571 or so. Now I do not know what exactly to do LOL. 4 vs 4, 3 vs 3, which ones? what combination? will be our 1st game and I think it will be too much to handle even in standard rules. what do you guys think, any recommendations?

Cheers!
