    Sadly for us, most battles against the Barbary States are lopsided ROFLstomps where only one "home team" ship or a handful of small vessels comes out to play.

    I'm also adding any "roughly contemporary" engagement with the Barbary States I can find to the table, in the hope that MAYBE we can wring some Sculpt Candidates out of the expanded data. :)

    Even something that could be a cut and shunt would be good. I still have two unused sloops which I can cannibalize DB. As far as the battles go, I have plenty of examples from you of the type of ships involved and can now make up a fairly balanced but representative selection of ships for both sides for my solo encounters. We only tend to do historically correct at the big shows.

    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.
