    Thank you for your responses Romeo and Rob . Yes Romeo very interesting building theme. I has been reading about the USA barbary war against the pirates in this area. Lot of Berberisc pirates opering in the area.

    Rob, you have the scenario done. I like your Nile´s Battle coastline. Perfect for barbary coastal scenarios.

    This is the image from Algiers that inspired me. Now i have to work on the city walls...
    This is from the Spaniard bombardment in 1784

    Certainly gives the flavour of an island fortress guarding a town.I think I could very easily modify what I have already got to simulate that sort of scene without making it too much like a set piece. more a generic sort of port for the Sublime Porte.

    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.
