    I'm tryin', shipmate, but I only have so much influence on Ares... and sadly, the ships to go under these flags are hard to find English-language sources on since the manuscript for "Spanish Warships in the Age of Sail" remains unpublished other than ThreeDecks somehow getting a copy and doling out bits piecemeal ship-by-ship. This shows how big a loss JM was, hard to find people who speak the language of naval architecture in both English and Spanish... really wish we could somehow get a connection made with the modelmaker at Museo Naval Madrid.

    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.

    A member whose username regrettably escapes me at the moment, who also joined the research efforts for Ares and vanished around the time Wave 3 released. :(
