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.
Just got around to putting these ship base caeds into place and discovered a cunning idea of Dobbs which I shall copy on all my other ships.
He may well have explained this before, but if so it has escaped me so here is a snapshot of the base of USS President with its non slip EVA foam added. Well done Dobbs.

This just arrived from Brigade Miniatures. It will be my Fort McHenry. I don't really foresee square riggers dueling in inner city Baltimore, but I've kind of started viewing this hobby as model railroading where you can shoot cannons at your friends. It's fun to build 3D scenes, even if they may not have a practical combat application.
The buildings were extra. The ship is included for scale. Gre

I bought up a set of each type of Bastian and hornworks when they first came out and have used them in parts of the forts I did for Basque Roads and the Moroccan/ Algerian port of Gizzanoffa, Dobbs.Originally Posted by Dobbs

They are an excellent ancillary for constructing these works and save hours of scratch building.
