Greetings!
Great to have you at the Anchorage Christobal.
I can now formally welcome you on behalf of your new shipmates.
I am sure that they will be along to greet you when they dock.
May you sail with a fair wind and a willing foe.

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.
Thanks a lot Rob!
Greetings, Christobal! If you don't have many opponents, try my soloplay rules. Here's an example of how it works and a link to the rules.

Here is a shot of Cochrane's attack at Valdivia during our annual event at Doncaster, with a few Spanish ships added to the historical action just to make a game of it.

Good day to you Christobal, enjoy the game and all the valuable information that is offered on this site.
Thanks a lot Gary! have a good day!
Welcome to the Anchorage, Christobal, from here in the United Kingdom. If you have questions about the game, please feel free to ask them. You will find the members here are very friendly and helpful.
I'll do it! I already noticed that, thanks David!
Welcome to the great age of sail, mate !
Saludos desde Francia !

Thanks a lot Roméo!

Such impressive pictures of your Chilean Navy, Rob. I'm not used to see ships displaying that very colourful flag.

Welcome aboard Christobal, I hope you enjoy being a member of this wonderful global community. I have a fleet of Chilean (and Peruvian) ships, although my interest is firmly settled in the 1870s. I was a visitor to your country in 1994 when one of our ships ran aground there. I was in Talcahuano for a month overseeing repairs, and had a chance to visit the ironclad Huascar which at the time was berthed very close to where we were living in the naval base. I regret I didn't get to see more of your lovely country.

Thanks a lot David! Nice experience you had, I still don't know the Huáscar yet, but I hope that changes soon. And I hope you can come back to Chile someday after COVID-19.
A belated welcome to the Anchorage, Cristóbal.
Thanks a lot Sven!
A very amazing work on these beautiful ships. Thank you again for shared all this with me.
A pleasure Cristobal. We are all here to try and help each other further our mutual interest. I am just pleased to be able to add to this for you.

If you have a look here Cristobal you can see all the design work and some of the research pictures for a lot of my terrain pieces. Mind you there are three pages of it.

Thanks again Rob! It would be amazing to play Sails of Glory with all that scenarios. Is a very wondeful work!
I must admit we have had a bit of fun with it over the years Christobal. it was really all a spinoff from the 25mm and !5 mm stuff we did for the school wargames club, and when I retired, Wings of War had just started and I needed something to do so I got involved. The next thing you know Keith had started the Drome on line and then when Andrea came up with Sails the Anchorage came along and I startrd doing the 3D terrain from the cardboard flats they sold. That led onto the forts and the rest just followed on. Just like designing stage sets only smaller.

Nice! I meet Keith online, I'm in the Drome too. In Wings I've more experience and several planes. Did you mean Andrea the designer? Have you meet him?
Yes I first met Andrea in Rome when Attillio the Italian Wingco took us all out for a cheese and wine evening. Then he came to Doncaster a couple of times over the years, and I last saw him at Prague Con as it then was a year or so ago.
I only met Keith once when he stopped over in England on his way back from the Middle East and stayed with us for a couple of days.
We should start a which shipmates have you met in the flesh, but I'm sure our American shipmates would win hands down!
