    Captain Hal Sparrow!!! a great opener for him.

    There was something in his bones that spoke to him about the sea and the freebooting life of a pirate. I think you're refering to rheumatism.

    That's an interesting thought about rules mistakes, I noticed the same thing looking back over my game notes, it may be that there is more complexity here and we just don't see the mistakes because they are lost in all the other detail. Mind you I don't remember reading in the scenario that we should ignore special damage so my thoughts are probably meaningless.

    I've finished August's game but wrote up my first ever WWll flying game last night as it was easier. We're in the throes of decorating, so gaming time is in severely short supply. Good luck with your next mission.

    I resemble that remark.
    Bligh.
    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'll stick to the G&t or Port if you don't mind Paul. I once had a nasty encounter with a bottle of Rum.

    I was thinking that you'd rub the rum on your joints. What were you thinking?

    I've had a nasty encounter with vodka at a party hosted by someone who had the worldwide marketing gin portfolio for United Distillers. Beware parties where the host pours vodka like wine - it was vodka not gin as it was post-group visit to Russia.

    My nasty experience was Pernod and having to pull over on the side of a motorway to get rid of it. I wasn't driving and it took years before I could stand the smell of aniseed.

    That may be, John. That may be...but nothing that can't be fixed by some '89 rum.

    It's probably that I'm not noticing my mistakes. I'll know better after - 'Who fired the first shot', which will be my first scenario with several ships on each side.

    I've finished August's game but wrote up my first ever WWll flying game last night as it was easier. We're in the throes of decorating, so gaming time is in severely short supply. Good luck with your next mission.
    I've done April's - not sure when I'll get May's done as that 4 vs 4.
