    Vol and Rob,

    Thanks, both are very helpful! I've dabbled.in wargaming on and off over the years, but this is the first I am really invested in and want to make sure I learn from those who received their commissions before me!

    Remember Jim taht before you take any advice from me I am an old Admiral in his dotage. I am only astounded that I have not been yellowed years ago.

    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 may be old now in your eyes
    But all my years have made me wise
    You don't see where the danger lies
    Oh call me back, call me back.

    But the war it ran its course, they could find no use for me
    And I live in the country now, grandchildren on my knee
    And sometimes think in all this world the saddest thing to be
    Old admirals who feel the wind, and never put to sea

    Now just like you I've sailed my dreams like ships across the sea
    And some of them they've come on rocks, and some faced mutiny
    And when they're sunken one by one I'll join that company
    Old admirals who feel the wind, and never put to sea


    Yellowed be damned, you're in command of the fleet.

    What a superb Poem John, and thank you for your confidence in having me in charge of the Fleet.
    Just sometimes I make a fluff up on here that would not have ever happened five years ago. Most of it you chaps do not get to see it on the site.
